I download the file all-2.0.tar.gz and next?


nessus-update-plugins is just a shell script, so you can open it up
directly and see what it is doing. Basically (assuming Nessus' default
installation paths):

 * cd /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/
 * rm *.nasl
 * tar xzvf /PATH/TO/all-2.0.tar.gz
 * kill -1 `cat /usr/local/var/nessus/nessusd.pid`
