unable to download artifacts

[adasal <ad...@gmail.com>]

I have looked at MNG-4028 <http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4028> and
other similar issues.
I have commented MNG-4183 <http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4183>
My problems are roughly the same. I'm using maven 2.1.0, linux Jaunty, no
firewall apart from that in the terminal adaptor, no network connectivity
problems.
I have tried all combinations of command line, removing settings.xml,
starting with a clean .m2, no luck.
What can this possibly be?

One point - I originally installed maven2 through apt-get, I have now
removed it and use a version in my user directory.
I also have a version of maven 1 on the same machine.
It is true that env variables are not quite set correctly, no M2 and using
MAVEN_HOME instead.
MAVEN_HOME=/home/adam/maven2.1/apache-maven-2.1.0

MAVEN_HOME1=/home/adam/maven-1.1  <--- obviously this doesn't work for maven
1. But not the issue.

This is one version of errors when trying to setup appfuse from command line
and using settings.xml in /home/adam/.m2 :-
...
We are using command line specified remote repositories:
http://static.appfuse.org/releases

Any help would be appreciated.
