Frustrating, but a good outcome.  ;-)

It could be that the thing was using http://hydra.gnu.org, and that this
server was overloaded and dropped the connection, or something.

In 0.10.0 we switched the default substitute server to
https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org, a mirror that is much faster than
hydra.gnu.org.

If you reconfigure GuixSD from a recent Guix, GuixSD=E2=80=99s guix-daemon
service will use mirror.hydra.gnu.org.

Thanks,
