Rubygems mirror
If you’re a RubyGems user, you can’t have missed how slow it is, even with the new mirroring system.
To speed it up a bit for me, I setup a mirror. You’re free to use it for your own needs if you find it speedier, here’s the URLs :
http://gems.tron.name/gems.rubyforge.org/and
http://gems.tron.name/gems.rubyonrails.com/To use it only for a particular gem use :
gem install --source http://gems.tron.name/gems.rubyforge.org/ your_gem_nameTo set it as the default for your gems add the next line to your ~/.gemrc :
gem: --source http://gems.tron.name/gems.rubyforge.org/ Sat, 06 May 2006 11:40

Yeah, thanks. Would be nice to know exactly how you created the mirror, though. Then I could stop using yours!

And thank you from me as well! rubyforge is down, down down today, so your mirror really is a saviour!!
Thanks for this post and the mirror. I was getting really frustrated with the main site not delivering me the whole yaml file.
