Hi all,

I cannot get gem install x to work at all.

I've never had a problem previously, the only thing that may be  
affecting it is that I'm currently checking out a large amount of  
source files from a remote svn repo, but other network apps are fine  
(web/mail/im/svn etc).

Any ideas?  Is the gem server down?

Thanks
Kev
