Side note: I hope you don’t mean ‘texlive’ the 4 GB monolithic package? Check out <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Using-TeX-and-LaTeX.html>. :-) Regarding slow downloads, you could try the mirrors mentioned at the bottom of <https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org/>: they’re far away from Sweden, but still, it would be interesting to see how much of a difference it makes given that there must be solid infrastructure behind. Thanks, Ludo’.
