A continuación se muestra el error que generalmente obtengo cuando mi conexión a Internet es flanqueante al intentar crear una aplicación web con maven.

Mi pregunta es, ¿por qué los usuarios siempre tienen que descargar cada vez que la misma aplicación se ha creado anteriormente?

¿Qué podría estar mal en mi configuración que hace que maven se descargue siempre?

A continuación se muestra un error que recibo cuando intento construir sin conexión:
