Answer 1

A redirect is issued by the server to the pip client. Assuming you're using the default PyPI and not a proxy, the first place to check is the Python status page at status.python.org.

This was recently posted:

Update - We are currently investigating redirect loops for some package installs.

And this even more recently:

Update - We've rolled out a fix for the redirect issue on files.pythonhosted.org for the new PyPI and are monitoring.
