Subject: Re: ruby gems trouble?

It seems works after download the gem file into local disk.

As said on my company PC, I don't need the extra step but well I am not
an expert to figure out myself. Move on for the fun part:-)

I really appreciate your help, Assaph!

-=- now download the gem file to local disk and it seems works in a
minute with even router security firewall on
