I have enjoyed using gemcutter. Its like the 3rd iteration of rubygems and is significantly better than previous revs. When this happens though, I always remember that I didn't have this problem with CPAN. Maybe its time to start having some redundancy and mirroring of the rubygems repo.

Ok, rubygems.org seems to work again, so you should not forget to remove the entries...

Make sure to remove this now, these DNS entries are now broken. :)
