Sometimes we get reports like this, of strangely slow downloads from
ci.guix.gnu.org. They don't seem to depend on geography. They sometimes
happen to people who usually download quickly from ci.guix.gnu.org. So
far, we don't have any idea why they happen. But, it's not just you.

You are the first person to file a detailed bug report about it, if I
remember correctly (if!). If you'd like to help debug it, let us know,
but it would probably mean identifying your IP / location.
