Couldn't resolve host 'magento-community' error when installing Magento modules

Question

I tried to install the Module Creator by using magento-community/Netz98_ModuleCreator and I get the Couldn't resolve host 'magento-community' error.

I then used a website to download the extension and install it that way, and I get this error for this file Netz98_ModuleCreator-1.0.0.tgz.

CONNECT ERROR: Package file is invalid
Invalid version, should be like: x.x.x
Invalid stability Invalid channel URL
Empty authors section Empty package contents section

Please help!

Starting from Magento 1.5.0 you should use Magento Connect 2.0 extension key.

The developer of this extension created it compatible with Magento 1.3 only. You can download the extension package (.tgz archive), extract it and manualy put files in your Magento instance. Use package.xml to determine the file location.
