Hi Justin, Yes, currently only central gets indexed, but in the future I'd like to add support for multiple repositories.

(We actually don't index everything, but do try to index most things.) Currently, we update our repository files a couple times a month (nights or weekends) via rsync. We alternate between different mirrors to try to minimize any bandwidth costs to any particular host, since bandwidth can get expensive when dealing with large quantities of data. (Also, I would never want to spider central, since that would not be nice to do to the web servers.) In the future, if Jarvana proves to be popular and we move to a better server, I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of also becoming a mirror. We are hopeful that Jarvana might make the lives of current Java/Maven developers a little easier to justify its existence. We are also hopeful that it might, in some small ways, encourage more people to adopt Java and Maven. Let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions.
