Guix is currently unable to download the magit tarball. For now I worked around it by using 'wget' followed by "guix download file:///path/to/tarball". Here's what happens: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix download https://github.com/downloads/magit/magit/magit-1.2.0.tar.gz starting download of `guix-file.cszPnB' from `https://github.com/downloads/magit/magit/magit-1.2.0.tar.gz'... following redirection to `https://cloud.github.com/downloads/magit/magit/magit-1.2.0.tar.gz'...
