failed to install with a "invalid gem format" error.</p>

<p>We speculated that I updated at just the wrong time when Tom was
pushing the new gem, and wondered if it's possible for my update to
have fetched a partial gem. It could also be normal network issues
solved by trying again. However, given that I had to manually
delete the gem from RG's cache dir before I could update to a fresh
gem (RG tried to reinstall the corrupted cached version) I wanted
to double check with you guys.</p>

Sorry.</p>
<p>Is this still happening for you? And if so, what version of
RG?</p></div>Nick Quarantotag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/59846942011-09-23T16:48:23Z2011-09-23T16:48:23ZGem push making partial uploads available for download?<div><p>No, but I fixed it by fighting my urge to download the latest
and greatest as soon as I see it by counting to 1999.</p>
<p>I still believe this is a backend rubygems.org issue of making
an incompletely uploaded artifact available for download rather
than a RG client issue.</p>

S3/cloudfront for distribution of gems, and AFAIK there's no way a
'partial' file can be tossed up there.</p>
<p>As usual, most of these issues can't be reproduced easily :( But
if it is happening still, let me know.</p></div>Nick Quaranto
