what do you mean "when there done"? Did you d/l them or not.
simple procedure:
- you d/l them
(- in case the mod comes in an archive: unzip/unrar it)
- start the installer

most mods come with an installer.exe that guides you through the install process
and even give you a desktop icon to start the mod

When you download the mod - open it - majourity of good mods will give you an info file telling you what is required.

In a nutshell you need tooo...
1. Download file to PC
2. Open file when downloaded.
3. Look for info on what is required.
4. Extract or run the file and install into your BF2/mods directory{You need to check an info file to make sure you do this step right but you can just run it and check your folders too see if the mod has been installed into your BF2/mods/Mod_Name directory.
You will need a shortcut on your desktop to start the mod but it can be started via your BF2 game {Go into Community and select the mod from there}

Don't know that mod but check if it is in your bf2/mods directory.
Start up BF2 and check the community tab too see if the mod is there.
If the mod is in the mod directory but not in the Community tab then the mod is fubar....

Only do this if the file inside the zip is a .exe file. If all you see is a folder inside the zip then you need to extract the folder into your bf2/mods directory.

Same goes for maps. If the map is a .exe file, just double click {open} it and it should automaticly extract to the correct place. If it is a folder - just extract or copy it and put it into your bf2/mod/ModName/Levels/ directory
