I have noticed when you update via acp, the old version of the module is saved and I assume there is a file that points to the proper folder/version of the module. However, when I try to push a module manually, it seems to break.

Can someone explain how this works and what I need to do if I want to update a module manually?

When you update via the marketplace the new version is put in a directory with its version number:
jrCore-version-5.2.33

when the new version comes out it will be put at
jrCore-version-5.2.34

The base url of:
/jrCore

is just a symlink that links to the most recent version.

When you download from the marketplace it wont have the version, so delete the symlink that is on your server and upload the module to there.

I suggest deleting the symlink first because depending on the FTP system you use, the contents MIGHT be put into the location that the symlink links too rather than over-writing the symlink with the folder.
