Dear Eclipse Aether community,
In January 2017 Sonatype Nexus repository reported a suspiciously enormous
number of downloads for Apache Ignite artifacts. After conducting the
investigation with the help of Sonatype folks we figured out that Aether
contributed to the most of downloads:
https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MVNCENTRAL-1563
<https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MVNCENTRAL-1563>
For instance, here's a breakdown of just one hour on 2/14/2017, showing the top
10 most requested files from this Aether side:
1697
/maven2/org/springframework/spring-core/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-core-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar
1171
/maven2/org/springframework/spring-beans/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-beans-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar
1160
/maven2/org/springframework/spring-core/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-core-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar.sha1
964
/maven2/org/springframework/spring-beans/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-beans-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar.sha1
650 /maven2/org/apache/ignite/ignite-core/1.7.0/ignite-core-1.7.0.jar
540
/maven2/org/springframework/spring-expression/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-expression-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar

/maven2/org/springframework/spring-aop/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-aop-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar

/maven2/org/springframework/spring-tx/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-tx-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar.sha1

404
/maven2/org/springframework/spring-aop/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-aop-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar.sha1
Why does Aether behaves like a crawler or bot that keeps downloading the same
artifacts constantly? Is this a bug?
