Gem server horked?

This morning seems the gem server is having a bit of a fit ... getting
timeouts during "updating gem index" ...
Anybody else experiencing this?

I've been having trouble this evening, too.

True, my view wasn't geographically sensitive.

Has anybody that's part of that project caught this yet ??? I'm surprised
more people aren't yelling ... I've got a bunch of Ruby-Nubies that I'm
trying to get setup, and this is a pretty bad first experience.
I know the discussion about RubyGems being part of the standard distro is
still open ... but, it's just a black eye to have something "standard" be
down like this.
I may be interested in mirroring them ( at least for me and the team I work
with ) ... is there some mechanism for me to do that?
I need a working solution soon, if theres anything I can do to help, please
let me know.

The problem is that RubyForge is on a relatively small network
connection - 768K. Mirroring out large files helps tremendously, but
there's still a ton of content being served through that pipe.

Back when I was first envisioning the original RubyGems, I had
thoughts about serving gems using a peer-to-peer system. You can see
some of this old brainstorming still (in the old section):

I still think this might be a good idea. These days we have even more
P2P protocols to choose from. Even if we didn't do client-side P2P, it
might be nice to at least have some kind of server P2P, or some kind
of redudancy.

As great of a service that is provided by RubyForge (thanks Tom!), it
still represents a weak link. We don't want to turn away new users
with something like this.

Cool.

RubyGems.org | your community gem host for a listing of gems. Click on desired
one to download.

Does downloading like this bypass mirrors? Is there a way to manually
download of a mirror if that's the case?

Thanks,
Nick

Cool, yup, Austin just opened a thread on this sort of thing on
rubygems-developers:

Nope, right on, I agree wholeheartedly.

Nope, currently all the Gems are served off gems.rubyforge.org - unless
of course you use the "--source" parameter to point to some place where
someone is hosting another Gem server. It's the regular files (i.e.,
the Win32 installer) that are served via the mirrors.

But I think the Gems guys are working on a mirroring solution...

Until the mirrors are official... enjoy!
