IIRC Central is well over 10gb at this point (possibly 20gb) and a given organization will really only use at the most 1gb of it, so rsync'ing it is just a bad idea unless you are setting up an actual external mirror that will be available to the community.
They are already using Artifactory, and I certainly hope/assume they are caching the results. This would limit their use of Central to one access per artifact (GAV) plus some hits by people not using their Artifactory instance. I would generally doubt they are actually blocked by Central, but rather this is an intermittent failure that will eventually resolve itself.
