Exception in plugin download

I received the following message in the Nessus server log this AM:

[Tue Sep 30 11:00:03 2008][7720] Exception occurred in load_plugins
[Tue Sep 30 11:00:03 2008][7720] 4466 plugins loaded

I have changed the plugin update time to one hour and receive the same
message. I miss my 23K+ plugins; please advise how I can get them
back...
No network disruptions at my organization noticed today. I have been
receving updates every 24 hours for the past few months with no issues.

Thank you.

Are you still having the issue? If so, what are the contents of the
plugin_feed_info.inc file in the directory with your plugins?

It is working fine now; what could have caused this problem?

Thank you.

Some changes in the plugin name could, under certain circumstances,
prevent nessusd.exe on Windows from parsing them properly.
