Hi, Making a full repository mirror is not an option. What you need is a proxy for Maven.
You should try Proximity: http://proximity.abstracthorizon.org/ Proximity protects you from repo blackouts, inconsistent repositories, sporadic ibiblios HTTP 500 errors and also speeds the build time. Organizations should indefinitely not depend on centralized servers, they should build their own inhouse repositories (proxied reposes + hosted reposes).

This is only a once off problem - now that you've gone through the doanloading pain, there is no need to do it again, unless you decide to add or change versions of dependancies. The full repository is quite a number of GB in size, making a tarball available of it is unlikely to be efficient when you could simply mirror the repository yourself from time to time, removing the risk of the repo "going away". If the central repos go down, you lose the auto-download capability, but there is nothing stopping you from resolving the dependencies manually (apart from the annoyance of having to do so).
