This is the error I get:
ruby-1.8.3 - #fetching
ruby-1.8.3 - #downloading ruby-1.8.3-, this may take a while depending on your connection...

The requested url does not exist: 'http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.3-.tar.bz2'

The problem is that rvm is trying to fetch Ruby 1.8.3 from: http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.3-.tar.bz2
But it should be fetching it form: http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.3.tar.gz
