No typical usage pattern of Maven, even by a large number of developers, generally doesn't get you blocked. We have heuristics, at least on Maven Central, that detects scrapers and that will get you instantly blacklisted. Sometimes it's a developers within an organization trying to grab the entire repository without anyone else in the organization knowing.
You should definitely use a repository, like Nexus, and privately send me your IP and I can tell you the behavior that got you blocked from central, if indeed you have been blocked.
