4,670 Pointsruby installation wont open
my ruby installation will not open. on their site they say that "Depending on your location, sometimes the downloads will not work. This is due RubyForge provided mirrors. Until we completely move our releases out of them. please add /noredirect at the end of the URL and try again." ive tried putting /noredirect at the end of the url but keep on getting error msgs. ive tired many different ways eg
http://dl.bintray.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/rubyinstaller-2.2.2-x64.exe/nodirect
http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/nodirect
and even a link that they recommended http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/72170/rubyinstaller-1.9.2-p0.exe/noredirect
i either get a file not found error or RubyForge Could Not Connect to Database error.
has anyone had this problem before?

12,025 PointsHi Melissa,
A few times, above, you added "nodirect" instead of "noredirect." I wonder if that's part of the issue.
Good luck!

12,025 PointsSure thing! Sounds like maybe they were just having issues over there.
Happy coding!

12,025 PointsHmm.
The odd thing about it for me is that those noredirect links don't work properly, but the regular rubyinstaller link seems to work over here, at least.
