What kind of plugins are you trying to get?  As of right now there's no
"mega update site" where you can go and browse all of the plugins available
in the world.  One plugin that I use that we don't (yet) have a package for
(it's going through the Extras submission process ATM -- see [1]) is
Subclipse.  I install it following the instructions here:

http://subclipse.tigris.org/install.html

Yes, I agree that the whole update site/manager could use a re-design :) .
