Dear all, I am trying guix import from cran, and building some R packages, which sometimes needs to download substitutes. i noticed that the download speed can be ridiculously slow and seems especially during night in HKT.
Here is a snippet of the downloading: substituting /gnu/store/njhd9w4pvp2c6mbdngg1xvvld82a2c1l-ghc-ansi-wl-pprint-0.6.9... downloading from https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/lzip/njhd9w4pvp2c6mbdngg1xvvld82a2c1l-ghc-ansi-wl-pprint-0.6.9 ... ghc-ansi-wl-pprint-0.6.9 123KiB 25KiB/s 00:05 [##################] 100.0% substituting /gnu/store/p035ilg1b6ywpxxj8df494x8zxnnwg12-ghc-data-default-instances-containers-0.0.1... downloading from https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/lzip/p035ilg1b6ywpxxj8df494x8zxnnwg12-ghc-data-default-instances-containers-0.0.1 ... ghc-data-default-instances-containers-0.0.1 42KiB 37KiB/s 00:01 [##################] ghc-data-default-instances-containers-0.0.1 42KiB 37KiB/s 00:01 [##################] 100.0% substituting /gnu/store/fzvfc1zzqqg2y2f2j7a3p7268gbj8x18-ghc-digest-0.0.1.2... downloading from https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/lzip/fzvfc1zzqqg2y2f2j7a3p7268gbj8x18-ghc-digest-0.0.1.2 ... ghc-digest-0.0.1.2 50KiB 26KiB/s 00:02 [##################] 100.0% substituting /gnu/store/5vkirs3zzwg7n099f5pwcf3kbf1mjxrg-ghc-entropy-0.4.1.5... downloading from https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/lzip/5vkirs3zzwg7n099f5pwcf3kbf1mjxrg-ghc-entropy-0.4.1.5 ... ghc-entropy-0.4.1.5 57KiB 21KiB/s 00:03 [##################] 100.0% substituting /gnu/store/vv9mvx9fk8yk49fn0czmszss1s72za8c-ghc-erf-2.0.0.0... downloading from https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/lzip/vv9mvx9fk8yk49fn0czmszss1s72za8c-ghc-erf-2.0.0.0 ... ghc-erf-2.0.0.0 51KiB 32KiB/s 00:02 [##################] 100.0% substituting /gnu/store/289w11bnbb8v5hav1463my181jchi1ck-ghc-executable-path-0.0.3.1... downloading from https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/lzip/289w11bnbb8v5hav1463my181jchi1ck-ghc-executable-path-0.0.3.1 ... ghc-executable-path-0.0.3.1 58KiB 12KiB/s 00:05 [##################] 100.0% substituting /gnu/store/8wjlzpx0mxmfmcfq83kqg949vkqy05dh-ghc-extensible-exceptions-0.1.1.4... downloading from https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/lzip/8wjlzpx0mxmfmcfq83kqg949vkqy05dh-ghc-extensible-exceptions-0.1.1.4 ... ghc-extensible-exceptions-0.1.1.4 41KiB 20KiB/s 00:02 [##################] 100.0% One of ghc-* (not shown above) which weights around 97MB took 2 hours to download. But when I use speedtest.net to test my internet speed (https://www.speedtest.net/result/9675438421) I get about 80Mbps both upload and download, while some substitutes are still download (and they are still downloading when I am typing this). So is this problem with my guix setting or is it known that ci.guix.gnu.org is slow? This guix is installed on Linux Mint 19.2, and I did "guix pull" yesterday. Regards, Peter
