Subject: How to download gem without installing it

Ok, so I have a build of ruby, and want to get the latest versions of
them, I am supporting an install with about 68 gems.  The systems I use
have no internet access. So I am stuck sitting on a windows machine
slowing going through rubygems.org for each gem one at a time and
downloading it. I know the exact list I need. It just is really tedious
to get gems this way.

I can make an a Ruby install on a comuputer that has access, use gem
install to get it that way. But is there a way to do that without it
installing the gem? Or "extract" the gem from the installation so I can
transport it?

I figure that has to be some way to down load a large set of gems from a
command line, and of course NOT install it or at least "keep" the gem.

I'm probably missing something really simple here.

Thanks
