I uploaded a gem about five hours ago and I’m still not seeing it in queries? About how long should it take the server to pick it up? James Edward G. II ---

I think the mirrors are updated every 30 minutes; though there may be a “push on update” process in place. Some new mirrors have have come online recently( and 30-Second Rule should have its mirror set up in a day or so, I hope), so perhaps there is an issue with the mirroring process, and you’re fetching from an out-of-date server. Have you tried explicitly setting the gem server path to [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org)?

Should be about an hour or so… unless you’re hitting that Ruby 1.8.3 + RubyGems problem… > I think the mirrors are updated every 30 minutes; though there may be a > “push on update” process in place. Yup, we’re hoping to get to that soon… just need to get everyone pulling gems/files from Dennis’ mirror server… Yours, Tom ---
