nessus-fetch fails with unknown error

Subject: nessus-fetch fails with unknown error
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 00:01:22 -0400
I installed Nessus-3.0.3 this evening and went through registering the
scanner. It said it registered, however when it tried to fetch the
newest plugin set, it gave me an "unknown HTTP error" with an error code
of -1210593292. I tried a nessus-fetch --plugins and it told me that the
scanner was unregistered. So I tried the same code again, and it said
that the ciode had already been used.

I checked the FAQ on the site, and came up with nothing. Has anyone seen
this error before? I blew through two licenses...Before I waste any more
(I know they are free), can someone tell me what the problem is?
