Not as far as I know.  I installed to the laptop with just

    easy_install OpenGL

I saw an error like the one you mention when I tried to do the download 
using -f with an https URL, but I'm pretty sure I updated the setup file 
to use an http URL (seems to be using it in your case).

You can try this instead:

    easy_install -f 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyopengl/OpenGL-3.0.0a4-py2.4.egg?download 
OpenGL

which should IIUC parse the HTML page to find the link and download it.  
But easy_install is definitely supposed to be SourceForge 
download-system aware.

I need to get to work, but I'll try to get some time to look at it this 
evening.  Have fun,
Mike
