Summary: with multiple sources, if one is unavailable, nothing works at all

Initial Comment:
With the Amazon outage, one of the sources I had added outside of rubygems was 
down (http://rubygems.torquebox.org).  For me, this wasn't a big issue, since 
it hosts only a few gems that I use and I don't need updated that often.  
However, when trying to install a gem or update gems, it would shut down 
entirely, not being able to find specs.4.8.gz for that one source.  So in 
effect, `gem update` was borked because one source wasn't available, regardless 
of the status of all others.

If possible, can this just display a warning or something saying that "can't 
search ${borked gem server source}, skipping this one" and still try to update, 
install, etc., from any and all other sources listed?
