Since the capabilities of hydra.gnu.org are sometimes outstripped by
user demand, users sometimes experience repeatable network failures
while downloading. We have raised the funds to buy a more powerful
machine for hydra.gnu.org and to host it.

Do you know if this succeeded for you during the period while the Guix
git repository's HEAD was unchanged? Althought, I don't see how state of
HEAD could make a difference to whether or not the gzip encoding was
successful.
