mvn option to ignore Failed to read artifact and try other repos

Question

Currently one of the repos is failing with a 502. A similar issue has been post before here:

jcenter 502 bad gateway after gradle refresh and jcenter.bintray.com is down Error: 502 Bad Gateway .

There error looks like:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project my-project: Could not resolve dependencies for project my-project:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at my-dependency:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to read artifact descriptor for my-dependency:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not transfer artifact some-other-project:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT from/to some-repo (some-repo's url): transfer failed for some-repo's url to some-other-project's pom, status: 502 Bad Gateway -> [Help 1]

I verified with --debug that for some reason it only tries the failing repo and none of the remaining repos in my ~/.m2/settings.xml

The artifact is availble in the surviving repositories. How do I tell maven to ignore this failure and move on? The repository is specified in a pom.xml which I prefer not to change.

Currently my workarounds is to modify the pom.xml locally to remove that repo and make sure I do not commit the change.

My preferences to the fix are:

1. Ideally it would be a command line option, or ~/.m2/settings.xml change. I do not want to use --offline since I want mvn to use the other repos.
2. If not possible, then I will settle for a pom file change.
