Great to hear that the other update site worked for you. So it looks like there was indeed some stale cache data in your installation that you could workaround by using the other update site URL (which technically points to the same one than the one you used first).

If someone else hits this issue, another option would be to completely delete the update site URL from the preferences, restart Eclipse, and go to the Install New Software dialog again. This makes the stale cache data go away. Sometimes pressing Reload is enough, sometimes you need to remove it completely, restart, and add it back.
