This has happened to me on every out of the box install of Nessus I've done
on FreeBSD, which has to be at least a dozen boxes.  I always build from
ports.

Use your favorite text editor to edit /usr/local/sbin/nessus-update-plugins
and change the fetch_cmd and fetch_args as shown below:

    fetch_cmd="/usr/local/bin/wget"
    fetch_args="-q -O -"

That's always fixed it for me.

Chris
