I am trying to install mocha on my OS X MBP and when I use

sudo gem install mocha

I get this error:

ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)  
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Operation timed out - connect(2) (http://  
[RubyGems.org | your community gem host](http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/mocha-0.9.7.gem))

I got it last night and thought maybe the service was down, but I get  
the same error this morning.

Thanks in Advance,  
Chas Lemley

Nevermind, I figured it out. I was having a DNS issue with my router.
