Subject: Re: downloading all of gem to my hd?

Hi,

I found "gem mirror" command in a old version of gem, but
a current version of gem doesn't have such a command.

Now, I think that the one way to download all gem files is to do
following steps:

1. obtain all gem names with "gem search" command
$ gem search --remote
2. download all gem files with "gem fetch" command
$ gem fetch [gemname] [gemname] [gemname] ...
([gemname] is one of the gem names obtained in step 1)

Although this way is troublesome if you do by your hand,
you can write a simple script which do these steps automatically.

There might be a better way than this way, but I don't know.

Regards,
