This seem identical to the problem Jacob is having:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/kuj9mk$1mbs$1@digitalmars.com#post-kul17b:2412r4:241:40digitalmars.com

To you as well:
Let me see your configuration log, it's at:
Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Configuration
And also the Error log, it's at "View Error Log" on that same dialog.

Seems like the raw HTTP file view of Git repositories in Google Code hosting is down at the moment. This mean the update site is not accessible:
http://updates.ddt.googlecode.com/git/
-> fails with a 404 error

If you wanna use the update site in the meanwhile, you can get it as a zip from: http://updates.ddt.googlecode.com/archive/aa309c6726c8e8d7635100a34abbad51542ebc9a.zip


I've opened an issue with Google Code, as I've seen this happen several times, a bit more often than it should IMO:
