You already have a URL that you use to manually grab the plugins, right?
It should look like:

  https://plugins.nessus.org/get.php?l=XXXX&p=YYYY&f=all-2.0.tar.gz

where "XXXX" is your login and "YYYY" is your password. To configure
nessus-fetch, create / edit the file nessus-fetch.rc file, by default in
/usr/local/etc/nessus, so it contains the following lines:

                     ---- snip, snip, snip ----
  login=XXXX
  password=YYYY
  proxy=
  proxy_port=
  proxy_username=
  proxy_password=
                     ---- snip, snip, snip ----

After you've done that, re-run "nessus-fetch --check" - it should report
now that you're registered for a direct feed. (NB: nessus-fetch --check
doesn't distinguish between registered and direct feeds, only whether
it's been registered or not.)
