I think there will be soon a solution to this problem. The Artifactory guys are working on a much improved Ivy cache. They have already a Gradle fork running with that cache: http://repo.jfrog.org/artifactory/webapp/builds/gradle-wharf-head
This cache has many advantages, including better performance, concurrency, metadata per resolver, no wrong error messages and less clutter. We will provide more details on this soon.
