Beware: wget shows the “instantaneous” throughput, whereas Guix shows
the average throughput since the beginning.  So to be sure, you need to
make a full download.  Also, please compare not only against ‘guix
substitute’ but also against ‘guix download’.

Regardless, I don’t see anything like that here.  Commit c822fb8 may
help a bit; could you retry?

Commit 7623848 helps for source derivations and ‘guix download’ for
Guile <= 2.0.11, but it shouldn’t make any difference for ‘guix
substitute’.

Thanks for the report,
Ludo’.
