At the moment, I’m behind a firewall which doesn’t allow `gem install`  
to reach the repository. But I can go to rubyforge and download gems  
manually and do a `gem install -l`.  
I was trying to update hoe, and I got this error

C:\ruby\localgems\>gem install -l hoe-1.7.0.gem  
ERROR: Error installing hoe-1.7.0.gem:  
hoe requires rubyforge (\>= 1.0.0, runtime)

My problem is that i can’t find the rubyforge gem or project anywhere  
on Rubyforge.  
(even though it shows up in the top 20 list of downloaded gems…)  
What’s wrong with my search-fu?

Ara already answered you, but you’re gonna have this problem again…

[RubyGems.org | your community gem host](http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/)

lets you grab any released gem directly.
