In the web site, usa saids,

>New binaries 'ruby-1.8.1-20040402' and 'ruby-1.9.0-20040402'.

So, snapshot 'ruby-1.8.1-20040402' or 'ruby-1.9.0-20040402' on 
http://www.dm4lab.to/~usa/ruby/index_en.html should be fine.

Or, you can download the current release 'ruby-1.8.1-i386-mswin32.zip',
which is older than the above but win32ole works (at least for me).
