Probably best will be to tweak the "Gems fetching fails in the Gem
Manager" at:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyFAQ#section-RubyFAQ-RubyGems

It actually points to:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyGems#section-RubyGems-GemsFetchingFailed

So updating that Troubleshooting section. I'll do this if you will not.
After I fix in-progress P1.

This is "bug" in the RubyGems or rubyforge.org site. Should get better
as the tool/site evolves. If you have any idea what we can do better,
they are welcomed, as always.

I'm planning to make the first fetch without descriptions and then later
fetch descriptions lazily for 7.0. So Gem Manager is usable almost
immediately then.
