Creating new Rails app - Dependency API down?

Question

I'm trying to create new Rails app:

rails new NewRailsApp

and keep getting an error:

  create
  create  README.rdoc
  create  Rakefile
  ...
  create  vendor/plugins/.gitkeep
     run  bundle install
Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/.
Error Bundler::HTTPError during request to dependency API
Fetching full source index from https://rubygems.org/
Could not reach https://rubygems.org/

Is the error on my side or is it caused by Rubygems Dependecy API being down? (it has been down for four days according to this )

How do I get around this problem?
