It looks like setuptools determines the  name of the file from the URL.

I use a Python CGI to serve my files for download. This means that 
anyone attempting
:

    easy_install 
"http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/voidspace/downman.py?file=configobj.py"

Gets an egg containing 'downman.py'. The CGI does send the correct http 
header containing the filename :

    Content-Type: application/octet-stream
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename= "%s"
    Content-Length: %s

Shouldn't setuptools honour the "Content-Disposition" header ?

All the best,
