Hello all,
Unfortunately, it seems that the SJTU server is somewhat unreliable, I sometimes get random failures in various parts talking to the substitute server, complaining of strange responses from the server:
```

```
I configured `guix-daemon` to have two substitute URLs: SJTUG, and the official Cuirass in Berlin. My expectation is that if the SJTUG server fails, it should fall back on using the Cuirass server.
So my problems are two-fold:
* Apparently the SJTUG mirror sometimes acts in ways that aren't quite how Guix expects it. Either SJTUG or Guix has to be fixed so they talk in compatible manners.
* Multiple Substitute URLs are not useful for the mirroring configuration where one server is temporarily unable to properly serve; further servers are not checked.
I'm still not satisfied with this solution overall. Yes it's fast but it's imperfect.
I recently had to rebuild an OS (because I was dumb; the Guix language for shepherd services can easily lead you deadlocking shepherd itself) and had supreme difficulty reinstalling, because the Berlin server was too slow (would have taken ~10hours downloading everything) while the SJTUG server was unreliable and would consistently break the automated install. I had to `guix system build --fallback` separately and *then* `guix system init` manually.
Thanks
