I have a problem with RubyGems. It doesn't matter what I try to install
with, it freezez.
Particulary I tried to execute:
gem install rails --include-dependencies
but the command freezez at the following message:
"Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org"
I think there is an internet connection problem. I disabled any
firewalls that were runing, but still the command freezez and there is
absolutelly no internet activity coming from it.
I am running Ruby 1.8.2 and RubyGems 0.8.10 on WinXP Home Edition.
I have absolutely the same problem (on WinXP). Gem process freezes and
downloads something from internet. And it is drive my crazy. So now I
download gems from rubyforge.net side by hands
I will be thankful to everyone who tell me how to solve this problem.

You have said that gem have no internet activity.
In my case gem download something from gems.rubyforge.org with a very
slow speed. It is definitely not a network lags. I tried to wait for
completion of 'gem install rails' but after 30 minutes of running I
have no results, just "Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org" (for this time gem downloads ~4Megs)
Whats wrong here?

I am running Ruby 1.8.2 and RubyGems 0.8.10 on WinXP Home Edition.
Sorry 0.8.10 was absolute crap. An index update could download upto 80 MB from a
complete bandwidth overloaded website. Upgrade to the new RubyGems
version, which is a little bit better, but it still has a problem with
the update speed.

Well, when I install some new gem I don't mind downloading it manually,
but the command "gem update" it is really usefull and it sucks that it
doesn't work.
But I found the problem (I am posting it for others to see it):
I used ZoneAlarm as my firewall and even though I stopped it before I
executed gems apparently it still had been running some process in
background preventing gems from executing. So I had to uninstall
ZoneAlarm in order for gems to work.
Since ZoneAlarm is a popular firewall, maybe this behaviour should be
documented on the RubyGems website, no ?

No, I think it is the same problem.

Are you 2 behind a proxy? (I had the same problem while trying to do gem install -remote in my co which is behind a proxy). I don't know why this is the reason, just a wild guess.
Alex,
This could be a problem because of 3rd party winsock components
installed on your machine.This is possible if you use some kind of VPN
software.
I was facing the same problem and one of the messages on this list
went into details.
Search for "RubyGems or any HTTP on XP NOT working" on ruby-talk...
I uninstalled the component and now I dont face any problems..
hope this helps
Thanks,
Amit
