You may be hitting a busy site and timing out. You could try re-
ordering the sources listed in your .gemrc file or just add gemcutter
(
http://gemcutter.org/) and give that a try.
I'm not sure what to suggest for best order. For reference, here's
what my .gemrc looks like right now:
$ cat .gemrc
---
:backtrace: false
:benchmark: false
:bulk_threshold: 1000
:sources:
-
http://gemcutter.org-
http://gems.github.com-
http://gems.rubyforge.org:update_sources: true
:verbose: true
