Hm, I was able to install it just now... perhaps the mirror was down for
a moment or two... are you able to install it now?

Yours,

(not complaining!)

I've seen this on a few gems over the past few days, too, on several Gems.
I just got the same error as above, then immediately reissued the command
and got calibre-basicobject-1.0.0 (+ facets-2005.10.30) installed. I'd say
it happened roughly one in four times I used Gems over the past week, but
only once persisted for more than a moment.

I wonder if one of the mirrors has lost some files or something (with it
being a 404) ?

I'm not actually drunk, I just sound it.

Okay, I tried it three more time (after the three before) and it
finally worked. Hope you can figure out the issue and fix, it's rather
irksome.

Thanks,
T.

Super!

Hm, maybe I need to set up some sort of mirror monitoring thingy...

It's odd... because the files are just rsync'd from one machine to
another and then a mirror is selected via a RewriteMap [1]. I just
manually hit all the mirrors and they seem to be fine... but something
must be going awry somewhere.

Anyhow, thanks for the additional data!

Yours,

Tom
