Thanks for the report. I think this is not specific to .exe installers, but an
issue that may happen with any kind of download. PyPI publishes MD5 checksums
of distributions, which should be checked by tools that download distributions.

New submission from Nate DeSimone nateman1...@gmail.com:
During network transit, .exe generated with distutils may become corrupted.
The part of the file that is a binary executable is small compared to the full
package typically, so it is possible for the installer to run and lay down bad
