It seems that the firewall or virus protection is blocking the download of .jar files. In anycase the workaround for me was to do a local update of the site using the instructions from here https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-from-zip

Make sure to check off the "Contact update site" in the "Install new software" dialog box or else it'll timeout again.
