We've been seeing this error periodically when some of our uses that are trying to download artifacts far away from where the server is geographically since upgrading from Archiva 1.3.5 to 2.1.1.
Has anyone else seen this error? Is there something with Archiva or a configuration that would have changed to start causing this at all? I tried looking through the logs, but I don't even see anything that seemingly matches up with the times these occur.
