"https://rubygems.org">https://rubygems.org</a> as your source?
(note the https). I'd think that they wouldn't be able to sabotage
https, so that might be a workaround for you.</p></div>Evan Phoenixtag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/106541602012-08-06T08:17:22Z2012-08-06T08:17:23ZChina: production.s3.rubygems.org sabotaged?<div><p>rubygems.org itself is not sabotaged, but any connection to
production.s3.rubygems.org, which as far as I can tell is a cloud
server. "Sabotage" in this case means that any connection to the
cloud server is flooded with RST packets. This is true for other
services that use Amazon's cloud servers, too.</p>
<p>Using <a href="https://rubygems.org">https://rubygems.org</a> as
the source doesn't make any difference as the connection to
production.s3.rubygems.org is terminated by the ISP. SSL doesn't
protect against resetting the connection which is what appears to
happen.</p></div>rekadotag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/106541602012-08-14T03:19:59Z2012-08-14T03:19:59ZChina: production.s3.rubygems.org sabotaged?<div><p>This is the reason that I setup the mirror in tokyo. He's
already using it since I'm sending all the traffic from China and
Japan to it.</p></div>Evan Phoenix
