Proxy repositories in Nexus Repo does not proactively download files from their remotes, it is necessary for the file to be requested through the proxy. This is by design, bandwidth is not free, so it wouldn’t be a good idea for large numbers of Nexus Repo instances to be downloading files from central or other public repositories that will never be used.
