archetype:generate gives "Desired archetype does not exist"

[Trevor Harmon]

Using Maven 2.0.10, if I do:

  mvn -e archetype:generate
then press Enter when it prompts me for a number, I get errors:

[WARNING] repository metadata for: 'artifact  
org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart' could not be  
retrieved from repository: central due to an error: Error transferring  
file
[INFO] Repository 'central' will be blacklisted
