Description

If a mirror is marked "blocked" in settings.xml (with a new boolean field for that), any download request to this mirror will be blocked with an explanation on which repository was mirrored for this blocked mirror request

    <mirror>
      <id>mirrorId</id>
      <mirrorOf>repositoryId</mirrorOf>
      <name>Human Readable Name for this Mirror.</name>
      <url>http://my.repository.com/repo/path</url>
      <blocked>true</blocked>
