I think I got it, and you were correct about the mirrors descriptor in the
main settings.xml. I had only the internal repository listed and not the
snapshots repository.
I had this:
<mirror>
<id>internal</id>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
<url>http://localhost:8090/archiva/repository/internal</url>
<name>Archiva Managed Internal Repository</name>
</mirror>
I added this:
<mirror>
<id>snapshots</id>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
<url>http://localhost:8090/archiva/repository/snapshots</url>
<name>Archiva Managed Snapshot Repository</name>
</mirror>
I also added a proxy connector to check daily, but I don't think I need it,
but I don't fully understand what a proxy connector is for in this context.
Thanks.
