This is very clean clear statement! Please make maven pointing this out to the user to use a repo if it is so wasteful. I am by far not an expert of maven or repositories, but I agree with you,
it gets much more simple as all proxy connections and all connections to external servers can be handled at one point, the repository in the role of a proxy So far I did not manage to make nexus reach out through our firewall because I do not know how to pass such a thing as -Dhttp.auth.preference=Basic to our proxy server on a attempt to take central into service.
