cannot bundle install ruby - freeze fetching https://rubygems.org/

Question

I'm trying to bundle install in an Ubuntu 13.10 (virtual machine) an existing big project.

But I only got the:

Fetching source index from https://rubygems.org/

Still running for 15 minutes now. I use rbenv and 2.1.0 version or ruby. That works on my Mac computer.

I have Bundler version 1.5.2 on the Ubuntu and 1.5.1 on the mac.

I just read https://thoughtbot.com/blog/fetching-source-index-for-http-rubygems-org about the bundle install/compilation time... But I guess I have another problem. Any idea why it does that?

By the way, It's not the first time I try to bundle install on the Ubuntu, I shutdown the process the last time because it was like freeze for 15 minutes, but it started to install many gems.

No real answer to this question by now, looks like it could be a rubygems network issue, maybe too many requests/users.

No solution, maybe use http instead of https is faster, not sure. Just wait. Sometimes 20 minutes.

From @JosephK

Changing "https" to "http" in the top of the Gemfile was the workaround that worked for me. Will have to do until the network issues on rubygems.org are fixed.
