What version of Guile are you using?

With Guile > 2.0.5, you get the “is slow” warning, but downloading
proceeds anyway (and there should be a progress report.)  The intent
with 2.0.5 is that there’s no warning at all because its API didn’t
allow us to resume download.

Are you observing something different?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
