There's nothing I can d= o about the servers, and the ISP I have is the best I can get with my budge= t (I already have two ISPs, and the one I use for Guix is the one that is m= ore reliable, believe me). At the least, there should be some way to downgrade this from a "connection= timed out" error to just keep on keeping on. Or at least to tell the tool= to just keep retrying the download for some specified number of times befo= re actually giving up (in practice 2 or 3 times is enough on my part of the= Internet).
