When downloading asc files from the remote maven repository things often get quite noisy because the asc file doesn't have a checksum and maven complains that it cannot find it,
Next time I'm in the area I should look see whether there is a way to tell maven not to care (anything we download is going to be sig checked or used as a sig check so we really don't care about correct transmission)

The is now understood.
signatures have checksums stripped by maven
By default this will warn as per the log messages
if a repo is marked as fail on checksum errors then you silently do not get the asc file.
