I have a setup where I am using my own Artifactory to where I keep dependencies for my project. This works fine. However this morning [https://plugins.gradle.com](https://plugins.gradle.com) was down, and I was surprised to see my builds failing. Looking into it it was coming from one of the few [ajoberstar (Andrew Oberstar) · GitHub](https://github.com/ajoberstar) plugins that I use:

My build machines are virtual machines which are discarded after each use, so using `--offline` is not an option for me. Is there a way I can address this and keep my builds running even when gradle domain or jcenter/bintray is down?
