I was having a bit of a problem with my nexus installation downloading from mavens repo1. Some jars would just not download so I tried a wget and got a 403 error. Did some searching and found that repo1 does not allow wget so I added a user agent to the wget (-U) and it worked. So I tried adding it to Nexus and viola. NOTE: I am behind a corporate proxy.
