Thank you! 

I've been having the same problem and had no idea what caused it.

Wouldn't adding a timeout make sense? Either with a sensible default time and options to change or disable it or just configuration options that would be documented in the "channels" section?

If timeouts aren't an option, a message like "could not reach substitute server [server-name] ([time/unit])"* would already be much more be helpful than the current state for those of us who are not (yet) that familiar with guix.   

I regularly feel like guix errors could give more useful information. Is this due to design decisions or something that just hasn't been considered or worked on?


* Optionally with additional information like "Press 'Control C' to abort" and "You can temporarily disable this substitute server by adding  '--substitute-urls=[server-name] to the command that got you here.'"
