python -m ensurepip --user
should still work in that case (since it installs inside the user's
home directory and leaves the system site-packages alone).
As far as direct *file* downloads go, no, those URLs aren't readily
calculated at all - automated clients are required to look them up via
the index page for the package (e.g.
https://pypi.org/simple/virtualenv/ for virtualenv).
For virtualenv, the full URL for the 15.1.0 wheel file for example is
https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/6f/86/3dc328ee7b1a6419ebfac7896d882fba83c48e3561d22ddddf38294d3e83/virtualenv-15.1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl#sha256=39d88b533b422825d644087a21e78c45cf5af0ef7a99a1fc9fbb7b481e5c85b0
To get a *human* to the right set of files, though, you'll want to
link them to https://pypi.org/project/virtualenv/#files
Cheers,
NIck.
