We are using Nexus so I added the 'exist' repository as a mirror to
central.  The download indexes scheduled task though still receives an
error but I can't tell if it is actually trying to download from central
or the mirror.

We moved the index to S3 back in November to reduce the load on Central
and improve access time for other artifacts. (224m downloads and 24TB
last month alone for the index) The index is not accessible from
repo1.maven.org anymore and it redirects to S3. (the s3 url is pseudo
dynamic so to get the files you must still hit central for the
redirected url).

If you can't use s3, then you'll have to change to ibiblio or another
mirror that is hosting the index files directly. If you use Nexus, then
the mirror support[1] will allow you to use ibiblio and repo1
transparently at the same time and the index would come from ibiblio.
