The warning and the error are not necessarily related. You can get the warning without the error, it's just there to tell you that fetching data from the substitute server might be slower than building from source if your CPU is particularly fast. > At the least, there should be some way to downgrade this from a > "connection timed out" error to just keep on keeping on.

This issue has existed before the warning you mention. Builds also still fail if you e.g. get a TLS error partway (happens to me more often than I'd like). It is IIRC a very well-known bug, though on the top of my head I can't give you a number. Regards
