This does not directly address your original question, but you should
consider running a substitutes mirror locally. I do this, and it speeds
things up considerably.

Of course, in its default configuration, the mirror only mirrors things
that ultimately come from hydra.gnu.org.

If interested, clone the 'maintenance' repo [0] and adapt the file
'hydra/nginx/mirror.conf' to your needs.
