I’ve tried from a couple of networks as well as over Tor and I cannot reproduce it. Does it still happen for you? (Specifically I used ‘guix download’ or ‘wget’ with the URL above.) > Is there a way to specify the timeout in guix? The ‘ftp-open’ procedure in (guix ftp-client) does allow you to specify a timeout when opening the connection. In (guix build download), which is what is used when running “guix build perl-datetime”, we specify a default timeout of 10 seconds. This timeout cannot be changed from the ‘guix’ command line though. Thanks for your report, Ludo’.
