You could try downloading it from the vim site. Vim 7.3.1251 is the current version Work on Vim 7.4 has started [2013-05-17] 7.3 has more than 950 patches, that's too many! Time for a new (minor) release. The plan is to (1) improve Python support, (2) include a faster regexp engine and (3) include pending patches and fix bugs. A test version should be available end of May. The release happens when it appears to work well.
