I am new to Ruby on Rails. I was trying to get Ruby on Rails
installed.
    I am on Windows XP with access to internet through a proxy. I
installed Ruby and then Gem. I downloaded both as standalone packages
and unzipped them. But when i tried installing Rails through Gem , I
got the below error
"
C:\Program Files\rubygems-1.7.2>gem install rails --version 3.0.1
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Zlib::GzipFile::Error)
    not in gzip format        "
 Before I installing Rails through Gem I had set the environment
variable HTTP_PROXY and I believe it works fine.

   I am not able to make this work. I was not able to download a
standalone package of Rails for the version(3.0.1) I am trying to
install.

   Any help / workaround would be appreciated.

P.S. I am unable to understand why the installation has to be only
through Gem.
