> [rubycentral.com](http://rubycentral.com) is down, i was wondering if anyone knew of a mirror to get the  
> ruby 1.7.2 (or 1.7.3) msvc msi package from?

I’ve moved the windows installer over to:

> **[Ruby Windows Installer](https://sourceforge.net/projects/rubyinstaller/)**
>
> Download Ruby Windows Installer for free. The Ruby Installer for Windows project has moved to RubyForge. Please go to http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/

It’s still a work in progress, but at least you can  
download the latest version (installer version 8 of both  
1.6.7 and 1.7.3) from there.

I added a few packages, you should be able to download FreeRide  
and run without grabbing anything else, for instance.

Best of luck!
