If by manually you mean something other than running nessus-update-plugins
at a commandline as Josh suggests, the better approach would be to configure
nessus-fetch to go through a proxy, if possible. 

Alternatively, copy the plugins over from another Nessus server in your
organization. Or install Nessus on a second host so that you can run
nessus-update-plugins and then copy the plugins over from that host.

As a last resort, you can retrieve
http://www.nessus.org/nasl/all-2.0.tar.gz as Tobias suggests although that
only gets you the GPL feed, which includes a limited set of plugins.
