Rebuilding maven indexes using eclipse makes no progress

Question

i am having an issue with maven indexes rebuilding using eclipse. When I start, it just says Updating index for repository: central|https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2

But there is no progress, or even error for tens of minutes, or nothing, it just doesn't give me any feedback.

I have also tried with other eclipse instance on my computer and problem was the same.

I am running Eclipse Neon (4.6.0 m1).

Also i Have tried to delete nexus folder from my org.eclipse.m2e.core folder in workspace.

Tried with eclipse Kepler on another computer on same network, and there is a progress (gz file being downloaded).

I am also very sure that i don't have proxy or any other limitations on my computer or network.

If while the update is taking place you start a maven operation, e.g., Project(right-click), Run, Maven build..., "goals: dependency:validate", a "User Operation is Waiting" popup will show a progress monitor. It will also show your waiting maven operation. (Offering this because no answer to this question seemed satisfactory, and it still shows up as the first hit when you query "eclipse progress monitor stuck at 0%".)
