RubyGems hangs while updating the source index

Ruby
1

I have a problem with RubyGems. It doesn’t matter what I try to install
with, it freezez.

Particulary I tried to execute:

gem install rails --include-dependencies

but the command freezez at the following message:

“Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org”

I don’t think there’s problem with internet connection…

Are you sure it freezes? Is it actually waiting for the server to
send you data? Is it processing something (using CPU)?

How much memory do you have?
