Hello,

It looks like the test guix-download.sh fails due to unwanted success
when the user's ISP is being "friendly" and redirects to a help page
when a non-existing domain is requested.  Log file:

The ISP is hijacking the DNS, which is Bad, and there’s not much we can
do here AFAIK.

So let me apologize for the inconvenience, and close the bug.  :-)
