That's an old version. The latest one is 1.3.7 and can be downloaded
from http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/70696/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz

That sounds more like a problem with your Internet connection than
anything else.
Can you visit rubyforge.org in your browser?

Ubuntu has a package manager called Synaptic that I think should do this for
you. I've definitely installed Ruby through it, but that was so long ago
that I can't remember if it worked for rubygems.

The Rubygems-package for Ubuntu has some problems with it (or used to
have at least) so the best way is to install it from the source
directly.

That looks like your DNS lookup is failing; check your nameserver
configuration.

The link you provide is reachable (even if it is an old version, as
pointed out previously). You are facing a DNS lookup issue.
