Not specifically a Rails problem; but is anyone else having problems accessing [http://rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org) or installing gems? It’s not working for me from my home internet (in the UK), internet on my phone, or a VM in Chicago… Having not seen anyone complaining about it this morning makes me wonder if it’s just me; but that’s three different internet connections failing… ---

I had problems most of the afternoon here in the US with gems located at [rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org). Hopefully will be fixed tomorrow. There’s gotta be some kinda of redundancy/mirroring provided by this site or at least and indication on the site about the DNS operational status. - Ricardo
