webrat 1.2.16 is not in the gemcutter repository. http://gemcutter.org/gems/webrat I noticed that certain gems and its dependencies range 600K or even bigger, like Rails at 2MB (and not talking about the active or action dependencies) The silent nature of RubyGems make things looks slower. How slow is if you try to grab the gem directly? can you curl/wget one particular gem? wget http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/name-version.gem -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
