I have fixed this issue using the proxy command option of gem install. It has the following format:

$ gem install --http-proxy http://201.187.107.19:8080 rails

Note, the IP address and the port number refers to a proxy. You should search for a proxy list and use one of the proxies there.

This is site with proxies: http://www.cybersyndrome.net/pla5.html

Also, I have to try 7 or 8 different proxies in order to succeed. Do not give up.

Note, you could see the following error, too:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::DependencyError)
    Unable to resolve dependencies: rails requires activesupport (= 3.2.8), actionpack (= 3.2.8), activerecord (= 3.2.8), activeresource (= 3.2.8), actionmailer (= 3.2.8), railties (= 3.2.8), bundler (~> 1.0)

Don't give up and continue with the next proxy from the list. Good luck.
