I've run into this some lately, but have always succeeded in finding a 
working mirror (the last time less than a week ago).  The first thing to 
do is to go to the Global Options Dialog, and click on Plugin Manager. 
(Or from the Plugin Manager itself, click the button for Download 
Options.)  This gives a list of known mirrors, but it's probably out of 
date.  Click on the Update Mirror List button to get a newer list, then 
choose one from the list and try downloading your plugins again.
