What do you mean there's an issue? The status page says everything is fine! ;)

https://status.maven.org/

It's actually repo.apache.maven.org that is failing.

The repo.maven.apache.org is a CNAME for that.

There's also Google's mirror / cache https://storage-download.googleapis.com/maven-central/index....

That's why you run your own repo as a proxy

In the short term, you could use https://repo1.maven.org/maven2 - but both the regular (repo, repo1).maven.apache.org and uk.maven.org aren't okay right now. :/

uk.maven.org went offline years ago, although it's still listed in the mirror metadata at https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/.meta/repository-metada...

If anyone who can fix that is reading, there's an issue here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-471

It’s always DNS

Except when it’s a compiler bug.

For a certain era for me, it was always "kerberos double hop"

No sometimes its BGP, the stuff of nightmares.

Internet-scale BGP is a nightmare, and it's a miracle that it works so well. But what makes BGP so nightmarish in a private enterprise network? As a software engineer who pivoted to infrastructure, I find that BGP is a lot better than the series of proprietary link-level SLAs that it replaced.

I've always been partial to IS-IS for the IGP but I wouldn't say BGP is necessarily bad. Perhaps too many knobs and not exactly as speedy to react as you'd want for an IGP in all but basic topologies but both of those can be fixed by staying focused on tweaking a subset that makes sense. Also I think the whole iBGP vs eBGP thing drives people nuts.

this

IGPs (IS-IS, OSPF, EIGRP) and BGP solve different problems and networks often need both. Some niche networks get away with using only BGP (massive datacenters), and some get away with using only an IGP (smaller networks), and some don't even need that (small networks).

I don't really do IT support any more, but when 'the internet was broken' at work last week my first reaction was to open cmd and nslookup a week known site! On corporate networks a missing dns server has been a major cause of issues.

I faced this error one time when building RISC-V.

I don't remember exactly the error but I have to fix by creating a script to manually download dependencies.

it’s been intermittent this afternoon, my recent builds fixed

Ah, that's why my builds were failing...

Mine, too. I had a sleepless night, so around 4:30 am CEST I started attacking a certain problem in an Android app. Wham!
