Install Rubygems without internet connection

Is there a way to install compass and compass_radix offline?

I get the following when I attempt a command line installation:

sudo gem install compass
WARNING:  Error fetching data: bad response Service Unavailable 503 (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
WARNING:  Error fetching data: bad response Service Unavailable 503 (http://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)
    Compass is charityware. If you love it, please donate on our behalf at http://umdf.org/compass Thanks!

If it's a firewall issue, you can also download gems directly via browser:

Note that you will need those gems' runtime dependencies as well.

The other alternative is to download them from a computer where you do have internet access using gem fetch

gem fetch compass
gem fetch compass_radix

If the second scenario, put those files on a USB key and bring them over to the other computer without internet and install using the format

cd <directory where gemfiles are>
gem install ./compass-x.x.x.gem
gem install ./compass_radix-x.x.x.gem

You should store all gems in the same directory (compass, compass_radix and all runtime dependencies) before attempting gem install <gemfile>.
