There is a ton of detail and sample code available at this site.  Perhaps
this could be used to fine-tune the plugin?

If you're trying to avoid downloading the tarball multiple times over
the internet, then you could fairly easily store a local copy and
modify nessus-update-plugins to  point to it instead of nessus.org.
It's just one variable near the top of the script that would need
changing.  But, that might not be the problem you're trying to solve
:-)
