Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the tip. 
I have a different set of repositories for each of my projects so i have
decided to use 
the below configuration for each of the repositories.

                        <snapshots>
                                <enabled>false</enabled>
                                <updatePolicy>never<updatePolicy>
                        </snapshots>

I have just checked now, maven is downloading only the ones which were
missed ( when i aborted the download) , so its working fine.

I will wait till all the downloads are finished and will try it all over
again and see if maven doesn't start downloading all over again.

If not i will reply to this post.

Thanks again both of you in helping me out.

Cheers,
Goutham Rao
