What monetary purpose is there to scraping the repo? I want to know if there is a security issue related to using Maven. -C. Helck

We block them when it causes problems and then they get more sneaky about their methods. The machine load was going through the roof so we are in the process of installing a balancer and an additional machine. Last night we switched the http server to something more suitable for static files and the cpu load is very low now so I think it¹s an overall improvement. The throughput I¹m seeing here is normal, so perhaps you had a temporary network bottleneck....but yes it was slow the past few days and should be normal now.
