My workaround:

http://gems.rubyforge.org/ contains a link to the gems themselves, and
you can simply download them from there.

'gem install /download/location/thegem-1.1.1.gem' will install them.

You might have to fetch the dependencies yourself, though.

Be careful to grab the gem appropriate for your OS. ;)

N.B.: I just downloaded the BlueCloth gem via 'gem install BlueCloth'.

It is possible the mirror you hit is currently synching its repository
against RubyForge, or otherwise not able to server files.
