Rich and I set up a ping-o-matic to keep an eye on RubyForge; if the
connection goes away again at least we'll know when and for how long it
was down.

Incidentally, I changed the display name of the RubyForge "ruby mirror"
project to "Ruby Release Mirror".  It's climbing rapidly up the download
stats chart :-)
