OT: Rubygems.org down?

rubyonrails-talk

Not specifically a Rails problem; but is anyone else having problems accessing http://rubygems.org or installing gems?

It's not working for me from my home internet (in the UK), internet on my phone, or a VM in Chicago...

Having not seen anyone complaining about it this morning makes me wonder if it's just me; but that's three different internet connections failing...

The same problem here in Germany:

http://www.rubygems.org/ Der DNS-Server gab: Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query.

C:\>gem install termios ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)     bad response Service Unavailable 503 (http://production.cf.rubygems.org/gems/termios-0.9.4.gem)

I had problems most of the afternoon here in the US with gems located at rubygems.org. Hopefully will be fixed tomorrow. There's gotta be some kinda of redundancy/mirroring provided by this site or at least and indication on the site about the DNS operational status.
