Change download location for Windows from scapy.net to hg repo
The ZIP file available at http://scapy.net/ has an additional header to
make it startable on Linux. This confuses the Windows internal unzipper
and causes warnings about corrupted archives. The files can be
extracted with 7-Zip or InfoUnzip, but this might be inconvenient
for a lot of users. So we now point to the Hg repo which carries
an unmodified ZIP.

about the zip file to be corrupted, either change it, or download a

You need the following software packages in order to install Scapy on Windows:
* `Python <http://www.python.org>`_: `python-2.5.4.msi <http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.4/python-2.5.4.msi>`_. `python-2.6.3.msi <http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.3/python-2.6.3.msi>`_. After installation, add the Python installation directory and its \Scripts subdirectory to your PATH. Depending on your Python version, the defaults would be ``C:\Python25`` and ``C:\Python25\Scripts`` or ``C:\Python26`` and ``C:\Python26\Scripts`` respectively.
- * `Scapy <http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/>`_: `latest version from the Mercurial repository <http://scapy.net>`_. Unzip the archive, open a command prompt in that directory and run "python setup.py install".
+ * `Scapy <http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/>`_: `latest development version <http://hg.secdev.org/scapy/archive/tip.zip>`_ from the `Mercurial repository <http://hg.secdev.org/scapy>`_. Unzip the archive, open a command prompt in that directory and run "python setup.py install".
* `pywin32 <http://python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html>`_: `pywin32-214.win32-py2.5.exe <http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pywin32/pywin32-214.win32-py2.5.exe>`_ `pywin32-214.win32-py2.6.exe <http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/pywin32/pywin32/Build%20214/pywin32-214.win32-py2.6.exe>`_
* `WinPcap <http://www.winpcap.org/>`_: `WinPcap_4_1_1.exe <http://www.winpcap.org/install/bin/WinPcap_4_1_1.exe>`_. You might want to choose "[x] Automatically start the WinPcap driver at boot time", so that non-privileged users can sniff, especially under Vista and Windows 7. If you want to use the ethernet vendor database to resolve MAC addresses or use the ``wireshark()`` command, download `Wireshark <http://www.wireshark.org/>`_ which already includes WinPcap.
* `pypcap <http://code.google.com/p/pypcap/>`_: `pcap-1.1-scapy-20090720.win32-py25.exe <http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/files/pcap-1.1-scapy-20090720.win32-py2.5.exe>`_ `pcap-1.1-scapy-20090720.win32-py2.6.exe <http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/files/pcap-1.1-scapy-20090720.win32-py2.6.exe>`_. This is a *special version for Scapy*, as the original leads to some timing problems. Now works on Vista and Windows 7, too. Under Vista/Win7 please right-click on the installer and choose "Run as administrator".
