If you are in an FTP client, you might be able to download from /pub/sword/raw specifically the conf files from mods.d and the raw data files from modules. Fair warning: I have not tried this, and do not recommend it.

But here is what I suggest. The module you downloaded should be unzipped if it is a zip file. Unzipping it should give you a normal folder with the module name and the contents inside. Then you open the Module Manager, first go to the Add/Remove section. This opens the Add and Remove Sources portion. Notice at the top the "Current local sources." It is probably blank. You need to click on the "Add" button to the right of this "Current local sources" section. That should open a dialogue box. Use that to find the folder of the unzipped module you want to use and add that as a local source location. Once you've added the folder location of your downloaded module to the "Current local sources," then go to the "Choose" section of the Module Manager and select "Local" as the install source. Now you should see the folder you added as an option. Once you can see it as an option, then go to the Install/Update section and it should be available.
