cached json error 503 for jarfile on JFrog Artifactory, but jar exists on remote repository Bintray

Question

Why is my local artifactory server is caching this for a jarfile? (Artifactory version 4.2.0)

{
  "errors" : [ {
    "status" : 503,
    "message" : "Error fetching http://jcenter.bintray.com/com/querydsl/querydsl-sql/4.0.7/querydsl-sql-4.0.7.jar (remote response: 503: Service Unavailable)"
  } ]
}

If the remote repository has the jar here, how can I get maven to re-download the jarfile?

When I inspect Artifactory, the cache tells me that it downloaded the jarfile a long time ago, which leads me to believe that it cached a version of the jar that didn't exist.

Why is my maven build failing with Error 503 and telling me it can't find this 4.0.7 jarfile?

Artifactory caches errors from remote repos in order to speed up the builds (if a remote server is down we assume it will be down for five more minutes). Those caches can be zapped (and of course they are invalidated after 5 minutes).

If you want to rerun the build during this time, being logged in as Administrator right click on the root of jcenter-cache repo in the Artifacts tab, select "Zap Caches" and rerun the build.

Or just rerun the build after 5 minutes.
