Carlos, I'm the one bugging John the most about the rsync issue. Since you guys moved the snapshots from codehaus's server to apache, my developers have been complaining a LOT about builds failing due to timeouts and such, and that's even with a maven-proxy instance sitting in the middle. It's gotten to a point where we cannot reliably do builds due to the snapshot server not responding. That's NOT a good experience for anyone, let alone a new maven user.
Basically, I have 15-20 developers (growing to 30-40 shortly) that end up hitting it every morning. If I can mirror is locally, the traffic from then would be eliminated with the only traffic being a 3am rsync. My biggest concern is our build reliability. If our builds fail, I'm not happy, my boss isn't happy, the developers aren't happy, etc.... Of course, if you guys would get releases of all the plugins (cobertura, site, checkstyle, PMD, project info, etc...) out sooner and get the bugs fixed quicker, we could stop using the snapshots.
