Nothing slows me down like iBiblio

While trying in desparation to download the commons-lang-2.0.jar from iBiblio's index of /maven/commons-lang/jars, I realized that I've wasted the better part of the last hour and a half fighting with iBiblio. Like some intemperate greek thunder-god, this Zeus of the Open Source Java world demands fealty, subservience, and a life-hemorrhaging patience I simply cannot summon during a codesprint.

I mean, I need this jar NOW. Not three hours from now. My entire build is waiting, hinging on this. But iBiblio cares not. No error message, no apology. Just a stubborn, mechanical tyrant who either scoffs at my requests or is powerless to send a 404 in response to them.

I'm going to investigate maven-proxy and get it set up locally as soon as humanly possible.
