Actually, if someone were to develop a patch for PyPI to do this, we could perhaps have a "display download dependencies" link for eggs shown on PyPI. That way, someone who wants to do a manual download could get a page with links for all the required eggs, and manually download them. (Of course, the other alternative would be for someone to provide an IE-controlling extension to urllib2 so that easy_install wouldn't be proxy-bound on such machines.)
