Hello all,

Does anyone know where can I find the download for Ruby::DBI? I tried  
Ruby Forge, but there download only has a Ruby script inside, which  
doesn’t seem to do anything by itself. The download at sourceforge has  
the setup scripts, but it’s an old version of Ruby::DBI.

Is there an alternate download link? Thx for any info.

I successfully downloaded Ruby::DBI late last night from RubyForge [  
[http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-dbi/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-dbi/) ]. Strangely, though, I had to  
use  
IE; Firefox messed up the download every time. Only after downloading  
with  
IE was I able to decompress the .tar.gz file using the latest version of  
7zip. I haven’t tried downloading it on my Mac.

I encountered the same problem with Iceweasel (Debian Firefox fork)  
last night. I’ve never encountered that problem before with any IW/FF  
downloads from other sites, so there must be something different about  
the rubyforge site. In my case, on Linux, I just use wget to download  
anything needed, and it always works. The problem I got was a partial  
download - proper signature in the …tgz file, but unable to unpack.  
Same results on several different files.
