This does not directly address your original question, but you should consider running a substitutes mirror locally. I do this, and it speeds things up considerably. Of course, in its default configuration, the mirror only mirrors things that ultimately come from hydra.gnu.org. If interested, clone the 'maintenance' repo [0] and adapt the file 'hydra/nginx/mirror.conf' to your needs. [0] https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=guix
