# rubygems-mirror

This gem can help you to full mirror of [rubygems.org](rubygems.org), it is an update to the old ‘gem mirror` command. It uses `net/http/persistent` and threads to grab the mirror set a little faster than the original. Eventually it will replace `gem mirror` completely. Right now the API is not completely stable (it will change several times before release), however, I will maintain stability in master.

## FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• Fast mirroring

• Limited tests - just functional

## REQUIREMENTS:

• rubygems

• net/http/persistent

## USAGE

In a file at ‘~/.gem/.mirrorrc` add a config that looks like the following:

---
- from: http://rubygems.org
  to: /data/rubygems
  parallelism: 10

Either install the gem:

$ gem install rubygems-mirror
$ gem mirror

Or clone the source code and use rake command:

$ bundle install
$ rake mirror:update
