Afaik (and I might be wrong), it seems that download_url is not
recommended nowadays. External downloads got removed due to some abuse
and problems.

I remember reading about some changes in the distribution of Python
packages in PyPi where, by default, PyPi will not parse and expose
"download_url" for newly registered packages anymore. From PEP438:

"Many package uploaders are not aware that specifying the “homepage” or
“download-url” in their package metadata will needlessly slow down the
installation process for all users."

Please take this comment with a grain of salt, I'm not 100% sure about
this and I might be missing something.
