Are you sure you have connectivity to the AWS infrastructure where the Snort rules are hosted? Are you running any other package such as pfBlockerNG with DNSBL? Sometimes in the past the IP space where the Snort rules are hosted has wound up on somebody's "bad IP space" list.
How long have you waited for the download to compete? Depending on your Internet connectivity and how busy the pathway is between you and the site, it could take several minutes for the rules to download.
Finally, are you using a RAM Disk? If so, you need at least 256 MB of free space in /tmp for rules downloads to succeed.
