Maven: Why does my computer always download from http://repo1.maven.org?

Question

I have two computers. One always downloads from http://repo1.maven.org. While another one downloads from http://repo.maven.apache.org.

Today, I got checksum error like this on the first computer.

[WARNING] Checksum validation failed, expected  but is 63801e851fe885601a0bd0eceb6501f7db37e47e for http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-archiver/1.0-alpha-6/plexus-archiver-1.0-alpha-6.pom

On the second computer, which is using http://repo.maven.apache.org working fine, no checksum errors.

I have been trying to change http://repo1.maven.org to http://repo.maven.apache.org but I cannot find where to change this.

I also wonder why different computers from same network got different repo to download and stuck with that repo forever.

This was changed with Apache Maven 3.0.4, the related issue is MNG-5151
