Repeated downloads of scala-compiler, scala-library.

I run the Maven Central Repository and have noticed a large uptick in
downloads for two specific artifacts:

org/scala-lang/scala-compiler/2.10.2/scala-compiler-2.10.2.jar
org/scala-lang/scala-library/2.10.2/scala-library-2.10.2.jar

The behavior is that clients downloads these artifacts repeatedly- many times a day- and do not request signatures or other metadata.

The following forum post describes this behavior:

We are unable to support this level of activity. I'm willing to redirect
to a URL that you specify (based on User-agent), but need to disable
this access ASAP. My understanding is that this may disrupt service for some subset of your users.

Requests started 07/02 at 03:46 UTC: the URL was incorrect, and resulted
in 404s.

http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/scala-lang/scala-compiler/2.10.2/scala-compiler-2.10.2.jar
http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/scala-lang/scala-library/2.10.2/scala-library-2.10.2.jar

On 07/03 around 2330, the URL was corrected:

http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/scala-lang/scala-compiler/2.10.2/scala-compiler-2.10.2.jar
http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/scala-lang/scala-library/2.10.2/scala-library-2.10.2.jar

On July 10, approximately 45K IP addresses requested these artifacts.

Thanks,
Jason
