An option is to manually download the ADT plugin (ADT archive) required. The page is, http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html. The page reveals ADT 18 is available at http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-18.0.0.zip. The link is closer to the bottom page. I needed 17 although 18 was the latest, so I modified the download URL, changing 18 to 17.

Select Help → Install New Software → Add → Choose Archive and select the location of the downloaded ADT archieve file, Choose OK.

Select the components required and proceed as required. You may get a message that the software is already installed, proceed with the installation.

Hope this helps.
