It would only be of real use if you were going offline for a long period of time and might need a whole lot of odd versions.

If you're under linux/unix I'd probably use wget to handle that. wget is really well designed to get recursive online filesystems and copy them to the local filesystem.
after a little experimenting on our local repo, (as wget can't go through my proxy as it's currently configured) if you're going to try it, I'd suggest trying to use the FTP functionality, as the HTTP version generates a bunch of junk files that are created by apache (index files & graphics).
Using my local repo instead of ibiblio's, here's what I came up with- Execute it from $MAVEN_HOME
wget -r -nH ftp://ibiblio.org/maven
-r = Recursively navigate the tree -nH= No Home- by default it'll create a directory ibiblio.org and put all the files in there.. this is not what you want.
You may have to tweak the ftp statement, as I can't see what ibiblio's dir structure looks like from inside the proxy- which means you might have to add the --cut-dirs= statement to get rid of junk directories.
This should create a mirror of the remote repo with in the $MAVEN_HOME/maven dir. Inspect the new repo to make sure it looks good, then use the mv command to move it to $MAVEN_HOME/repository. I'd personally suggest backing up the old repo if one exists, as I've ran into problems when completely overwriting the local repo.
Good Luck- I'm pretty new at this, so this is use at your own risk,
Luciano

I was under the impression that there was a generic call that could be made that basically downloads all of the available jars and places them in the repository strucuture.

Dave- Maven will automatically generate the repository on the 1st run. There is no specific step needed to build a local repository- it will fetch the needed jars off the web when they are called for. Just create your project.properties file, make sure that you have the proxy configuration stuff if you need it, and go ahead and start defining & building your project. It's one of the coolest things about maven that I've run into so far.
