Not sure if someone intervened but this works for me:

  wget -O - 
https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/guix/nar/gzip/dhc2iy059hi91fk55dcv79z09kp6500y-gcc-5.4.0-lib
 |gunzip |wc -c

The error you were showing suggests a truncated file, which indeed
happens occasionally when hydra.gnu.org is overloaded.

I’ve proposed a couple of improvements to ‘guix publish’ to address this
and related issues:

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=26201#71

Not implemented yet, but feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
