If that shows all the newest posts to the downloads?

I realise what is the problem.

There is a bug in the vbadvanced code when vba is installed on a windows-based server, and this causes the error you report ("this is not a valid module file") with all attempts to upload modules (not just LDM). I have reported this to Brian on vbadvanced.com, but so far I don't think it has been fixed in the official release.

The fix involves a minor change to the file admincp/vba_cmps_admin.php, as attached. If you upload this file, I think you will find that the modules install correctly.

When you have fixed this, be careful to avoid another problem related to the way vbadvanced handles module installation. The vba upload module form asks you which style(s) to add the new module's templates. You have created eight styles, but you have made them all 'top level' styles - i.e. they all have 'no parent style' (admincp/styles/edit style settings), so they cannot inherit templates from their parent. This means that the new vba module templates must be installed to *all* your styles, i.e. you must select all of them when uploading the module.

Again, I'm happy to do the installation for you, but obviously I can't install the code fix.
