Rails 1.1 Released

[Tom Copeland]

It's odd - a lot of the time seems to be taken up by updating the gem
info from the remote site. I think this took longer than actually
getting the gems down.

Exactly right.

Yours,

Perhaps it would be possible to mirror the gems as opposed to the site
itself?

Yup, that's the way it's done now.

From what I can tell everything is coming from and relying on
one server on what appears ( forgive me if I'm mistaken ) to be a DSL
line.

Hehe, the DSL line part is correct

I've got servers and bandwidth spare in a datacentre, and I would
love to use it for something useful as opposed to sitting there idling
away....

Great! Please join the support-mirrors list:

and we can discuss rsyncing and all that good stuff. Thanks!

Yours,

Tom
