Now I'm getting the 404 too. I guess that'll go away soon.

Out of curiosity, is there a way to force gem ops to use a particular 
repository (in this case, the main rubyforge), to avoid mirroring issues?

I tried this:

$ gem install rubyforge --source rubyforge.org
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
     HTTP Response 404

Am I specifying the source correctly?

(This might not even be a correct workaround, because rubyforge might 
redirect the request to a mirror anyway, as it does when you click on 
the links on the download page.)
