Instead of using an option to pip install to not install, but instead download, just give downloading it's own top level command. See #906 for more information.

Not sure if I'm missing something, but it looks like the top level command didn't make it into pip yet, while the --download flag has been removed. Is there any other way with pip 7+ to only download packages without installing them?

@piquadrat --download is still there in pip 7.1 ...

pip install --download=/tmp django
