Well, you can configure "--allow-hosts=localhost" for easy_install, 
e.g. by putting this in an appropriate distutils .cfg file:

[easy_install]
allow_hosts = localhost

And then it won't download.

However, I'm not sure if this is really a problem.  Any eggs that get 
downloaded for tests aren't actually installed; they're just dumped 
in the setup.py directory and added to sys.path during the test 
run.  They don't get installed with the package.
