Running the installer with the version flag results in a failure, due to an invalid checksum:

$ bash rvm-installer.sh --version 1.10.3
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 192 100 192 0 0 811 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 820

ERROR: ERROR:

Archive package downloaded does not match its calculated md5 checksum

500 Internal Server Error

500 Internal Server Error

nginx/1.0.8

:/html>

/home/linecook/.rvm/archives/rvm-1.10.3.tar.gz

Retry the installation and/or check your networking setup.

Halting installation.

Looking further into it, the checksum check fails because the checksum files are no longer available at `https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases`. For example the install tries to get the checksum using:

curl -s -B https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-1.10.3.tar.gz.md5

That results in the 500 internal server error seen in the output above.
