I believe that there is, as yet, no actual repository for this. Since 
these files can be generated from the Ruby source, the ideal place to 
get the ri data files is from the source code you're actually using.

However, for those with slugish machines, having a separate download 
might be a good thing.  As far as I know, ri data files created on one 
machine should be viewable on another, so long as ri knows where to find 
them.

If it seems worthwhile, I can generate the ri files for 1.8.1 and host 
them on ruby-doc.org.
