There is.. some history here. Basically if you have an old version of virtualenv —no-download / —never-download will turn off downloading from PyPI… if you have a recent but not super recent version of virtualenv, —no-download / —never-download does nothing (because we ripped out the network code for awhile), then if you have a recent version of virtualenv, —no-download / —never-download disables the new on-by-default code to pull down the latest pip/setuptools/etc. So tl;dr; use —no-download. — Donald Stufft
