You hit a transient problem with our network or mirrors. :( I've fixed
it now. Please do a:
ppm> verify -uf pil
to upgrade your PIL.

Until Python has an equivalent for CPAN, the module updating procedure
must be manual. So the modules get a little out of date while we are
concentrating on a new Python release. We'll work on updating them soon.
Yes, PPM is fairly new. As you can see we are still working out a kink
or two in the distribution system, so we haven't made too big of a noise
about it yet. When the time comes, enthusiastic word of mouth like yours
will spread the word.
