These are all things I have given thought to and would like to see them
worked on in Maven 2.1/2.2. There are a couple of jira issues already
filed for some of these specifics.

Since central is usually slow during the day, it can be pretty painful
that Maven's local repository does not cache negative responses. Maybe
Maven could stash away the URL and response date for 404's so that it
won't try again for a day or two, unless forced to refresh? (5xx's
should not be cached, though.)
For instance, if the Eclipse plugin is configured to download the source
jars, it tries to download the same archives every time, even though the
source archives do not exist for many artifacts. During the day when
central is overloaded, this means that generating Eclipse projects may
take 5 minutes or more for even a moderately sized source tree. A
similar situation occasionally happens if artifacts are missing pom
files; xml-apis:xml-apis:1.3.03:jar has no pom, for instance, and our
build winds up pinging that on a fairly regular basis, with an utterly
predictable response.
Would be nice if Maven could thread HTTP connections and pipeline HTTP
requests when possible, too; that could hide some latency from central.
If central is taking 3 seconds to respond to each GET, that adds up to
60 seconds pretty quickly.
