We should look at this after 1.1 (and possibly back port it to the 1.1.x branch).

I'm under the opinion that all calls to remote repositories should be asynchronous and that Archiva should serve the data that becomes available first. This will most likely also boost proxy performance.

Just to note that we got hit by this issue this morning as Adobe's svn and repo is timing out.
It's an especially unpleasant bug because no errors are thrown, and the web admin still works quickly, it just makes Archiva take a very very long time when serving any artifact, even non-snapshot ones where I would assume proxy connections would not even be used.
