It comes from ’cran->guix-package’ in (guix import cran):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     (let ((description (fetch-description repo package-name)))
       (if description
           (description->package repo description)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

where ’fetch-description’ effectively downloads but then
’description->package’ downloads again:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
         (source     (download source-url #:method (cond
                                                    (git? 'git)
                                                    (hg? 'hg)
                                                    (else #f))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This second download is not necessary.  The fix needs some care with the
different repositories.


Cheers,
simon
