Hi,  
I tried installing the rails-gem today:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;[10:21:55]bash:~$ sudo gem install rails -y  
&nbsp;&nbsp;Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org)  
&nbsp;&nbsp;ERROR: While executing gem ... (OpenURI::HTTPError)  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;404 Not Found  
&nbsp;&nbsp;[10:23:22]bash:~$ sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies  
&nbsp;&nbsp;ERROR: While executing gem ... (OpenURI::HTTPError)  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;404 Not Found  
&nbsp;&nbsp;[10:23:45]bash:~$

Is the gems repository down or having problems at the moment?

According to Tom, one of the mirrors was/is failing to replicate.  
There is a number of others others, explore the use of the  
"gem sources" command.
