What are the official mirrors of the Maven Central Repository?

Question

Does anyone know if a list of known (and working) Maven Central Repository (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2) mirrors?

If not, what mirrors do you use when the central repository is down?

Answer 1

This is taken from @rvxnet's answer and an example of why link-only answer are not desirable. I've taken this from the 2015-05-20 WaybackMachine version of their link:

Official, but not browseable:

• https://repo1.maven.org/maven2

Others:

• https://maven.antelink.com/content/repositories/central/

Also, there are official instructions for configuring to use mirrors. Essentially, you add to you settings.xml the something like the following:

<mirrors>     <mirror>         <id>planetmirror.com</id>         <name>PlanetMirror Australia</name>         <url>http://downloads.planetmirror.com/pub/maven2</url>         <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>     </mirror> </mirrors>
