Interesting! - what browser are you using? The the response headers I see using Chromium for https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-14.3.1.tar.gz are below. The important bits to note are: Content-Type: application/octet-stream which signals that the content shouldn't be decompressed or otherwise altered and the lack of a Content-Disposition header (that might influence the filename). Could you grab the headers you are receiving with whatever browser you're using, and perhaps try a different browser?
