Always check if your computer isn't downloading because of administrator privileges (in cmd, shell, or rubymine).

This problem was caused by the cachefly server.

It seems that the folks over at rubygems.org disabled this mirror and then people's downloads were able to continue successfully.

There is a thread over at rubygems.org discussing this issue.

I had a similar issue when Capistrano was running a bundle install on a remote server. It seems to have been caused by a .rvmrc file in the project that I had not authorised.

So all I had to do to fix is was ssh into the server, cd into the project and accept the .rvmrc config file.
