So I'm trying to check this out, but my ruby gems mirror seems to not want to. I get this error:

`ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'jekyll' (>= 0), here is why: Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - bad response Gateway Time-out 504 (https://tokyo-m.rubygems.org/quick/Marshal.4.8/jekyll-2.0.1....

Is there any way to specify other mirrors, and is there other mirrors than the Tokyo one that would work better?

FWIW I too see that error (I am in Tokyo, too).

Assuming you are using Bundler, and not trying to install the jekyll gem globally, you can manually specify a server in the Gemfile.

In an empty directory, I created a Gemfile with only these contents:

    source 'http://production.s3.rubygems.org'
    
    gem 'jekyll', '~> 2.0'

Then on the command line:

    [mason@IT-PC-MACPRO-002 jekyll-2-fuckery]$ bundle install --path vendor/bundle
    Fetching source index from http://production.s3.rubygems.org/
    Resolving dependencies.................
    Using blankslate 2.1.2.4
    <bunch of lines deleted...>
    Your bundle is complete!
    It was installed into ./vendor/bundle
    [mason@IT-PC-MACPRO-002 jekyll-2-fuckery]$ bundle exec jekyll --version
    jekyll 2.0.2
    [mason@IT-PC-MACPRO-002 jekyll-2-fuckery]$ 

That worked.

(EDIT: Updated with server that worked.)

Make sure you have an updated version of openssl.

I've got the `openssl-1.0.1g` package from `brew`
