The problem seems to be that plugin authors are moving to the new plugin repository, which is based around Composer.  The original download link for sauserprefs is already gone.

Unfortunately, for sauserprefs, there's only a snapshot version tagged (as I understand it), and the old version numbers for the plugin seem to have been abandoned.

I could start doing dated snapshots from the plugins site on my own mirror, but this doesn't seem it's the right thing to do.  I
ll get in touch with my plugin's author to see what his take is on the situation.
