Nexus Proxy Repo does not want to fetch

I am using nexus 1.9.2. I setup a proxy repo to a remote location (which can be accessed via http://somelocation.com). I added this proxy repo to Nexus' Public Repositories group. My maven's settings.xml is set to use Nexus (in the <mirror /> section).

When I login to Nexus via a web browser and click on this newly added proxy repo and then to Browse Remote tab I can see all the artifacts. However, when I click the tabs Browse Storage or Browse Index I do not see any artifact.

When I do mvn clean install I do get missing artifact, it simply does not want to fetch from the remote site.

I am getting the following

1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact: com.somelocation:someserverapp:jar:1.1.0-SNAPSHOT

from the specified remote repositories: release-repo (http://localrepo:8081/nexus/content/groups/public),

Caused by: org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.MultipleArtifactsNotFoundException: Missing:

1) com.somelocation:somelocation-networking-packet:jar:1.0.0

Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

Then, install it using the command: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.somelocation -DartifactId=somelocation-networking-packet -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.somelocation -DartifactId=somelocation-networking-packet -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

Path to dependency: 1) com.somelocation:someserverapp:jar:1.1.0-SNAPSHOT 2) com.somelocation:somelocation-networking-packet:jar:1.0.0

Any ideas why?
