This is an update to the old ‘gem mirror` command. It uses net/http/persistent and threads to grab the mirror set a little faster than the original. Eventually it will replace `gem mirror` completely. Right now the API is not completely stable (it will change several times before release); however, I will maintain stability in master.

• Fast mirroring

• Limited tests - just functional

• rubygems

• net/http/persistent

• builder

• webrick

• In a file at ~/.gem/.mirrorrc add a config that looks like the following:

  ---
  - from: http://rubygems.org
    to: /data/rubygems
    parallelism: 10
    retries: 3
    delete: false
    skiperror: true
    hashdir: false

• Either install the gem, then run ‘gem mirror`, or

• Clone then run ‘rake mirror:update`

• With the environment variable ‘RUBYGEMS_MIRROR_ONLY_LATEST=TRUE`, rubygems-mirror fetches only the latest release of each gem

When rubygem-mirror is configured with hashdir: true, additional configuration for your web server will be required. Below are the Apache2 RewriteRules you may need:
