gems.rubyforge.org == gemcutter.org

"Hosted" has nothing to do with "downloading"

The above URLs:

http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/bmabey-fakefs-0.1.1.1.gem

Are simple redirects to Amazon S3/CDN hosted files:


curl --head http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/bmabey-fakefs-0.1.1.1.gem

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:42:11 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5
Phusion_Passenger/2.2.5

If Nix cannot resolve over redirects, then you will need to indicate
the CDN location.
