Failed to get the server archetype by maven

Question

According to instruction from Teamcity doc

I use mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeRepository=http://download.jetbrains.com/teamcity-repository -DarchetypeArtifactId=teamcity-server-plugin -DarchetypeGroupId=org.jetbrains.teamcity.archetypes -DarchetypeVersion=RELEASE to create a project template of server-side-only plugin.

However, the error throws like below everytime I execute the mvn command.

Anyone knows how to fix the issue?

You have some kind of internet/proxy problem on your end. It run normally here. — Jorge Campos, Feb 17 '17 at 02:29
@JorgeCampos Thanks Jorge, the downloading process is not stopped immediately but can download halfway. Besides that, I have set the proxy in .m2 folder. — Eugene, Feb 17 '17 at 03:05
@JorgeCampos Could you please tell me the Maven version used by you? Thanks — Eugene, Feb 17 '17 at 04:50
Thanks Jorge. There seems no relationship with the maven version. I will double check the network settings. Thanks anyway. — Eugene, Feb 18 '17 at 07:57

Modify the mirrors in setttings.xml will fix the problem

<mirrors>
  <mirror>
    <id>google-maven-central</id>
    <name>Google Maven Central</name>
    <url>https://maven-central.storage.googleapis.com/maven2/</url>
    <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
  </mirror> 
</mirrors>

Please put above section in settings.xml
