Error downloading list of plugins

Looks like it must be the plugin server, a couple of us have started seeing
the same thing:

http://devnet.jetbrains.net/message/5284029

When I open the Plugins Manager for IntelliJ IDEA I see the following
error after it downloads the latest list of plugins:

List of plugins was not loaded: The reference to entity "id" must end
with the ';' delimiter.

This occurs on my Linux and Mac laptops using version 10.0.0 and
10.0.1. Is there something wrong or defunct with my installations or
is this a problem with the plugin server?

I am getting the same thing. I opened a bug report on it: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/IDEA-64390

This gets reported periodically. In the past it has been a problem on the plugin server that needed fixing. (See IDEA-52346, IDEA-55305, & IDEA-59963).

Same here. Must be something wrong on the plugin server.

I'm seeing this as well.. Can I manually install the plugin somehow?

IDEA build 99.32

nevermind, got it.. just copied the .jar file to the plugins dir in the package

I just traced the traffic downloaded when "Reload" is clicked (using Wireshark) and it looks to me like the culprit is a plugin called "Statistic" in the "Reporting" category.
The url specified by the author for that plugin is contains an unescaped ampersand:

<idea-plugin downloads="4244" size="127768" date="1295451432000" url="http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?idea&id=4509">

 <id>Statistic</id>
