[Distutils] easy_install wrong download site preference

[Alexis Metaireau]

Hello Anatoly, 

I dont know why, as I never upload a distribution to PyPI, but it seems
that your downloads distributions are not registred as so (no
rel="download" appears on the pypi page, here:
http://pypi.python.org/simple/protobuf/)

I think this is why setuptools/distribute does not browse your index the
way you want.

Hope this helpful, 

Cheers, 
Alexis
