From Gradle 1.7 there is new Public repository JCenter. 

repositories {  
   jcenter()  
}

So I want to ask if all jars from Maven Central are parts of this repo? And if not from what is JCenter repo consists of? And is JCenter more reliable from Maven Central as downtime?

jcenter() is similar to mavenCentral(). Have a look at https://bintray.com/bintray/jcenter for more details. The jCenter guys claim that they have a better performance than Maven Central.
