archetype:generate gives "Desired archetype does not exist"

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:

org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart' could not be  
retrieved from repository: central due to an error: Error transferring

Found the problem. I'm using a local installation of Nexus as a mirror  
of central, but the local installation was down. After removing the  
<mirror> entry in my settings.xml, the error went away.
