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?
