Cordova/PhoneGap add plugin fails

Question

When I try to add plugin for android platform, it's throwing the below error, not sure what's wrong, previously adding plugin was working fine..

Also tried after updating cordova to 3.4.0

Error: Failed to fetch package information for org.apache.cordova.file

> cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.file
Fetching plugin "org.apache.cordova.file" via plugin registry

Have you tried:

cordova add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-file.git

If this doesn't work, try deleting the contents of your plugin folder and run the above command again.
