I tried to update this gem from 0.4.06 to 0.4.11 but it doesn't seem
to see it, even when I use the --source URL option. Have others
experienced problems in updating too?

I tried

$ gem update scrubty --source 'http://rubyforge.org/projects/scrubty'

and it gave me the error message

Updating installed gems
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Zlib::GzipFile::Error)
    not in gzip format
