Win 3.0.3 (beta) plugin update fails

Subject: Win 3.0.3 (beta) plugin update fails
Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 00:41:46 -0500
I just removed NEWT and installed the Windows 3.0.3 beta. Registration was 
successful but the plugin update fails. It connects and finds new plugins, but 
fails to download providing the error "Update failed to finish, please try 
again later." 

Client.log contains the following:

TNS_IXMLDOMDocument::load(C:\Program Files\Tenable\Nessus\plugins\plugins.xml) 
failed

I have confirmed that the software firewall and hardware firewall are not 
blocking anything to plugins.nessus.org. Netstat confirms a connection to port 
80 of that IP. My firewall also indicates the same connection. I don't see any 
evidence that the systems are unable to communicate or that the file type of 
the download is being blocked.

Is it possible the plugin server is just too busy? Maybe the timeout is set too 
short.
