https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems-mirror

looks like it hasn't been released as a gem yet... I haven't seen much movement on it lately so I don't know the status of it.

That said... `gem mirror` will download ALL the gems, not just the latest. It's a bit heavy handed if you're looking to do something more casual.
