And you can always set mirrors for the central repository in your settings.xml file, to ease the burden on the central repository and to get all the artifacts the first time you build the project...

The central Maven repository (at ibiblio.org) is often under very heavy load and will time out, but it's hard to complain too much when the bandwidth is free. :) I agree, some sort of 'retry' logic would be a good enhancement for Maven. The good news is that once you get all of those dependencies into your local Maven repository, Maven will use them for every project you build, without trying to download again. -- Wendy
