(not complaining!)

I've seen this on a few gems over the past few days, too, on several Gems.  
I just got the same error as above, then immediately reissued the command  
and got calibre-basicobject-1.0.0 (+ facets-2005.10.30) installed. I'd say  
it happened roughly one in four times I used Gems over the past week, but  
only once persisted for more than a moment.

I wonder if one of the mirrors has lost some files or something (with it  
being a 404) ?
