Yep. Just ran into this one myself, very frustrating (as a new user).

My take, and the group can please correct me if I'm wrong, as I can't
get it to work either, is that the file must be local.

So, for example, on win 7, chrome, if I backstage / import /
http://tiddlytools.com/#calendarplugin / open, I consistently get
'error getting list of tiddlers, click cancel to try again.' And, of
course, clicking cancel wipes out the url - REALLY ANNOYING.

What would really help here is if the pre-defined feed list had at
least one entry in it by default, so we could see the nature of a
successful entry.

In the mean time, http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Plugin_Installation. (I
think this was the excellent page I ultimately ended up using.)

Since I couldn't dig up the links above immediately, I did find the
same and concise instructions at http://tiddlywiki.com/,
InstallingPlugins tiddler, and also (as referenced there)
ManuallyInstallIngPlugins

Have your tw file open in one tab. In another tab, having found a
plugin you like - double click the title of that plugin. Copy the
plugin name (e.g. right-click copy), on the original tw tab, start a
new tiddler, paste in the name. Repeat for the body and tags of the
plugin.Done the tiddler, save your file, reload / refresh the page,
and you should be good to go.
