It still works on and off for me.

$ curl http://pypi.python.org/simple/pep8/
<html><head><title>Links for pep8</title><meta name="api-version" 
value="2" /></head><body><h1>Links for pep8</h1><a 
href="../../packages/source/p/pep8/pep8-0.4.2.tar.gz#md5=da8562ef0b18ae9ced210cff742a2d1b" 
rel="internal">pep8-0.4.2.tar.gz</a><br/>
...
</body></html>

Try the same url again:

$ curl http://pypi.python.org/simple/pep8/
??Q??W[??H
...

So sometimes it works fine and sometimes it is gzipped .

Indeed:

$ for i in $(seq 5); do curl -o $i http://pypi.python.org/simple/pep8/; 
sleep 2; done
...
$ ls -l $(seq 5)
