RubyGems mirror to kill the wait

Like Dan Peterson, I have setup a mirror of the RubyGems repository on the same server that is an official RubyForge mirror.

http://rubyforge.planetargon.com/gems.rubyforge.org


gem install --source http://rubyforge.planetargon.com/gems.rubyforge.org postgres

The RubyForge mirror team is working on a gem mirroring solution… and in the meantime, this is my attempt to help out with the load.

Dan also noted that you could modify the .gemrc file:

gem: --source http://rubyforge.planetargon.com/gems.rubyforge.org

Thanks Danp for pointing this out… and Enjoy!

    Yeah, dead. But different. Here you get 403. At the original site you get 404 or buffer errors.

    Try just browsing to the page:

    http://rubyforge.planetargon.com/gems.rubyforge.org

    A phpfox install? Something seems afoul.
