Perhaps it would be possible to mirror the gems as opposed to the site
itself?
Yup, that's the way it's done now.
From what I can tell everything is coming from and relying on
one server on what appears ( forgive me if I'm mistaken ) to be a DSL
line.
Hehe, the DSL line part is correct 
I've got servers and bandwidth spare in a datacentre, and I would
love to use it for something useful as opposed to sitting there idling
away....
Great! Please join the support-mirrors list:
http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/support-mirrors
and we can discuss rsyncing and all that good stuff. Thanks!
Yours,
Tom
