Hi

When I run guix download the data is saved to the store. When I run guix 
build without first running download and the hash mismatches it 
seemingly throws the data away.

I think that is a bug.

This is not a bug.

The data that’s downloaded when you run “guix build” is not added to the
store because the hash mismatch indicates that it is corrupt.  Not
adding corrupt data (according to the user-specified hash) is the right
thing to do here.

If you want to add downloaded things to the store you should keep using
“guix download” and not “guix build”.
