title: How can I update Maven Index manually?
body: <p>I have this problem:<br></p>
  
  <p>When I start Eclipse <strong>(Indigo Service Release 1 with Maven Integration for Eclipse)</strong> it's trying to download a file from Maven Repositories :</p>
  
  <pre><code>repo1.maven.org/maven2/.index/nexus-maven-repository-index.gz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It reaches about 10-20% (this takes loooong) and then apparently it gives up: <br></p>
  
  <pre><code>02.05.12 08:47:36 MESZ: Updating index central|http://repo1.maven.org/maven2
  02.05.12 09:09:25 MESZ: Unable to update index for central|http://repo1.maven.org/maven2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I tried to download this gz-file manually because I thought, the download hits any timeout within Eclipse. Now I have another two problems:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>The direct download of the 48,7 MB-gz-file canceled after 9,6 MB. I have no clue why.</li>
  <li>If I'd be able to download the gz-file, I don't know how to "put it into" Eclipse/Maven or tell Maven to use the file on my PC and not the repository repo1.maven.org.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any helpful ideas or answers?</p>
