repo1.maven.org is really slow
Has anyone noticed that repo1 has been really slow the past couple days?
It just took me 20 seconds to download commons-lang which is all of 237k.

I always take the opportunity in this kind of scenario to recommend a local
mirror, like Nexus, if you're not already using one. It won't change the
speed it takes to get totally new data, but it'll reduce the amount of time
that you rely on repo1, and if there's more than one Maven user in your
location, it'll reduce the overall reliance of the organization.

What possible security risk could come from someone scraping the site?

They use it to provide search websites and stick ads or sell the accumulated
information about the OSS projects it contains.

What monetary purpose is there to scraping the repo? I want to know if there is a security issue related to using Maven.

We have been getting hit really hard by people trying to scrape the repo for monetary purposes. We block them when it causes problems and then they get more sneaky about their methods.
The machine load was going through the roof so we are in the process of installing a balancer and an additional machine. Last night we switched the http server to something more suitable for static files and the cpu load is very low now so I think it¹s an overall improvement. The throughput I¹m seeing here is normal, so perhaps you had a temporary network bottleneck....but yes it was slow the past few days and should be normal now.
