[aether-users] Apache Ignite metrics are broken: Eclipse Aether behaves like a web crawler
Dear Eclipse Aether community,

In January 2017 Sonatype Nexus repository reported a suspiciously enormous number of downloads for Apache Ignite artifacts. After conducting the investigation with the help of Sonatype folks we figured out that Aether contributed to the most of downloads:

For instance, here's a breakdown of just one hour on 2/14/2017, showing the top 10 most requested files from this Aether side:

   1697 /maven2/org/springframework/spring-core/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-core-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar
   1171 /maven2/org/springframework/spring-beans/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-beans-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar
   1160 /maven2/org/springframework/spring-core/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-core-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar.sha1
    964 /maven2/org/springframework/spring-beans/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-beans-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar.sha1
    650 /maven2/org/apache/ignite/ignite-core/1.7.0/ignite-core-1.7.0.jar
    540 /maven2/org/springframework/spring-_expression_/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-_expression_-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar
    405 /maven2/org/springframework/spring-aop/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-aop-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar
    404 /maven2/org/springframework/spring-tx/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-tx-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar.sha1
    404 /maven2/org/springframework/spring-tx/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-tx-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar
    404 /maven2/org/springframework/spring-aop/4.1.0.RELEASE/spring-aop-4.1.0.RELEASE.jar.sha1

Why does Aether behaves like a crawler or bot that keeps downloading the same artifacts constantly? Is this a bug?
