title: Problems after Maven installation - mvn install tries to download unreachable files
body: <p>After installing maven (<code>mvn -v</code> works fine), I tried to do <code>mvn install</code> in a directory having a good <code>pom.xml</code> at the root of a Maven project that I know works.</p>
  
  <p>I get the output shown at the bottom which basically states that it tried to download a file from an online maven repository and failed.  The file appears to be maven-oriented and I don't think it's related to my project.</p>
  
  <p>In addition, if I run <code>mvn install</code> in a directory without a <code>pom.xml</code>, which should just fail as I understand it, I get the same problems.  I'm guessing my Maven just hasn't been fully set up yet and its configuring itself maybe?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Can anyone tell me why it wants these files, and why it might be failing?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I seem to have access to the URL in chrome and the file being targeted is there, so even if it does need it, I'm baffled about why the download is failing.</p>
