What's the recommended hardware for hosting RubyGems mirror?

   Last I checked, the total gem usage was around 12gigs, and I'm sure that's even larger now. Just a lot of hard drive space! :)

   Well I've noticed that it needs at least 1GB of RAM for itself to normally create and index the initial mirroring (otherwise it spills lots of errors about memory allocation). Not sure about reindexing and updates.

   Going to consider this resolved, we should add this info to the docs for the new gem mirror incarnation.
