First there's what the wizard's site says...which is wrong.
Then there's what the RPGA sends you...which is wrong.
"To download your adventures, go to the "My Events" tab at the Coordinator's Center find your event and then click on the highlighted sanction number."

Try doing a search for "coordinator's center" and you come up with 3 matches...none of which are the correct one. 
 
Using the WoTC link for RPGA Event Downloads...doesn't download events.   

Then there' the DCI site.  Again nowhere on the front page is there any mention of the coordinator's center.

So I've made a quick list for future reference.

I'm not going to cover setting up an RPGA account or getting a DM certification. 
Sorry find another FAQ for that :p

Summary:
========
Assuming you are the DM.
Get 4 friends who are registered. 
Go to rpga.com...it will redirect you to www.wizards.com/DnD/Events.aspx

Right column, under "Event Links-> Schedule an Event"

Left column, select "Personal Information Center"

Right column, select "Event Sanctioning"

Click on the Dungeons and Dragons logo.  Yes I know that you got here from Dungeons and Dragons/Living Forgotten Realms...that doesn't mean anything with the way they wrote their menus. 

Select D & Dragons Private Event on the drop down tab. 
Click Next.
Select a date and click next.
From the list, click a box on the right side which the is the module you want to run.
On the bottom of the list is a button that says "Add/Remove Adventures."  Click it. 

Click Submit.

Wait for the RPGA sanctioning e-mail. 

Get the Sanctioning code and go back to rpga.com again.
Get back to "Personal Information Center"

To Download a module...DO NOT SELECT DOWNLOAD.  (yeah I know what you're thinking)

Under My Links (right column) Look for "My Events"
If you have your sanctioning number handy, filter by it.

Click "Search"

Select your event (click on the sanctioning number.)

On the bottom right will be the module you need to download. 

Yay, you're set until the actual game and then afterwards you have to report your session!
