> On http://maven.apache.org/using/repositories.html, some maven repository URLs are listed as examples. One of these is http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/maven/. However, this is not a "real" maven repository, planetmirror.com insists on showing you advertisments before a jar can be downloaded.  It does behave differently whether you access an URL with a browser, wget or maven. 
> This leads to hard to find build errors, because maven (1.0.2, the last released version of 1.x, you know), even with the artifact updates installed, chokes on these redirects and saves the HTML page as jar file. Which in turn leads to hard to find build errors.
> Please either remove planetmirror.com from the documentation pages or work with the people there to fix this behaviour.
