Tenable does not allow to host the package on a third-party server or to redistribute it in any way.You'll have to download it and serve it yourself.
- Clone the PKGBUILD repo
git clone <https://aur.archlinux.org/nessus.git>
- Go inside it
cd nessus
- Manually download
Nessus-x.x.x-fc20.x86_64.rpm
from https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus - Launch a basic HTTP server to serve the rpm file (or just put the file in the same folder as the PKGBUILD):
- ruby (1.9.2+):
ruby -run -ehttpd . -p8000
- python3:
python -m http.server 8000
- python2:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
- PHP (5.4+):
php -S 127.0.0.1:8000
- Launch the install with
makepkg -sic

@hotty. As I already said, the web server is optional.
or just put the file in the same folder as the PKGBUILD
DLAGENTS
is useless, here, it is only used to spoof the user agent.
hotty commented on 2019-05-04 01:14
Using a local webserver to 'download' a file is complicated when there is an easier way using DLAGENTS. The user has to download the binary and the PKGBUILD manually but no webserver needed.
Take a look at how 'oracle-sqldeveloper' or 'ttf-ms-win10' is handled.

I'm not sure Tenable allows to host the rpm package on a third-party server. The package download should be left to the user.

Quick work around:
Download 'Nessus-8.3.1-fc20.x86_64.rpm' from here. MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THIS EXACT PACKAGE: https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus
Make a new folder and put the RPM file in the new folder
- Use python to spin up a quick web server to serve the file from the above folder:
If you have python2.7 installed use this
If you have python3 installed use this
- In a web browser navigate to:
You should see a directory listing of the folder you created with a link for the RPM to download it.
- Back in the terminal run the yaourt -S nessus command to start the Nessus install, and edit as below the PKGBUILD:
So this line:
Change to this:
- Save and exit, continue as normal with the installation. Don't forget to the kill the python web server.

I changed of file hoster and direct download link provider, you should now have unlimited download speed and not daily quota.

@larrybowgensloth Please do not use this form (out of date flag) to report bugs. Use the package comments instead. Also see the pinned comment.

Bandwidth limit has exceeded
there is a 1GB daily download limit. If you have a better free host with direct link tell me.
Instead of using a hosting service, which is not even safe or transparent, have people download the file from tenable.
If you read the PKGBUILD, I wrote:
Previous maintainer already tried to make a direct download from Tenable website without success. I you find a way tell me.
