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.'"
