error - BadZipfile: File is not a zip file

[artttt]

Just installed pipwin - great idea.
however.
I tried to run pipwin install boost-python
and got the following exception (see below)
worked fine if i manually download the file and install it with pip.
cheers

Its not downloading the wheel file. The server is kind of blocking access to pipwin. Will look into it.

Same with me, I just installed pip install pipwin==0.2.5 and tried to install numpy:

$ pipwin install numpy

This is an annoying bug.
The webpage is returning wrong urls for requests from pipwin. This also happens sometimes while using web browsers.
Changing request headers usually fixes the issue temporarily. Will do that.

( Same issue #14 )

Has anyone found workaround for this?

Ive got the same issue attempting to install pycuda
