Download manually, unzip it in lib/plugins, rename the created directory to match the real plugin name. Eg. from splitbrain-dokuwiki-plugin-data-8c9d7e8[/m] to [m]data.
That is what I did. For instance, for
data it said
Plugin: data
Source:
http://***/userfiles/file/data.zip
Installed:

This plugin returned no information, it may be invalid.

You really need to upgrade. Not only will the plugin manager handle the github downloads correctly but you also make sure the plugins will work. Many plugins require features only available in recent versions.
Of course you are right ... at least I have one more argument for upgrading.
