Repositories for rake and RubyGems ? (RubyForge is down)

Hello,

I'm setting up Rails and redmine 0.8 on my Windows Vista machine.

I've successfully installed Rails with the following command (I want to have a clean install):

.\gem.bat install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org --version 2.1.2

If I don't specify the source option no gem is found.

I need to install rake v 0.8.3 and RubyGems v 1.3.1.

Rubyforge / http://gems.rubyforge.org sites seems to be down now.

Thanks for helping me finding a working repository that I can use. Maybe a list of mirrors somewhere ?

Barbara

I found the solution (was struggling a lot before posting then posted after a while of editing).

This site (http://de.mirror.rubyforge.org/gems/) I had a page opened at has what I was looking for. What I only had to do was downloading the correct file and installing it this way :

PS C:\Users\bpost\Downloads> C:\Ruby-186-27\bin\gem.bat install rake-0.8.3.gem

Stupidly simple !
