Download maven plugin 1.6.0 is available.
List of changes:
https://github.com/maven-download-plugin/maven-download-plugin/compare/1.5.1...1.6.0
Two major changes happened:
1) WGet mojo became thread-safe (thanks to Leonard Brünings for the initial implementation and Viktor Chesnokov for thorough code review)
2) Plugin now requires java 8 to build and run
Also, the plugin now can pass custom HTTP headers (thanks to Alberto (albx79))
