I've spent a little time looking at this. I've been trying to trace the code under Windows to try to find where it hangs. I've gotten well into the bowels of rubygems, and I'm very confused. It appears to hang sometimes when starting a Net::HTTP connection, but sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it gets a little further in the code, around the time when it wants to unzip the specs. But it get's fuzzy there because it doesn't look like it's hanging on anything that should block. Are there any known problems with Net:HTTP under Shoes that could be related?
