Oh cool, that reminds me.  I'm running every 15 minutes at 1,15,30,  
45 (can you do 0 with cron?  I'm never sure.) :)

We should probably establish a minimum interval.  The problem with  
even 15 minutes is that we might end up with 404s on attempted gem  
installs.  Any ideas on how to deal with that?

Robby, are you using rsync or just straight HTTP get?  I see that you  
have the yaml indexes too.
