It’s not a matter or mirror vs. http.  This one hangs:

  guix-download 
http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/check/0.9.9/check-0.9.9.tar.gz

Wget reports “No route to host” for this, which comes from here:

  socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
  connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), 
sin_addr=inet_addr("212.219.56.167")}, 16) = -1 EHOSTUNREACH (No route to host)

Guile’s (web client) instead does this:

  socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 7
  connect(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), 
sin_addr=inet_addr("212.219.56.167")}, 16) = -1 EHOSTUNREACH (No route to host)

Above is the first attempt, which fails like that of wget.  It is
followed by a second attempt:

  socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) = 7
  connect(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), 
sin_addr=inet_addr("212.219.56.167")}, 16) = 0
  ...
  write(7, "GET /sourceforge/check/0.9.9/che"..., 110) = 110
  read(7, 0x2147000, 4096)          = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)

And it’s this one that hangs (understandably).

(Time passes...)

OK, fixed in 3c738d6:

  $  ./pre-inst-env guix-download 
http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/check/0.9.9/check-0.9.9.tar.gz
  starting download of `guix-download.658Hnj' from 
`http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/check/0.9.9/check-0.9.9.tar.gz'...
  ERROR: In procedure connect: No route to host

I’ve also removed kent.dl.* from our mirror list.

Then again, you were looking at the wrong URL.  Try this instead:

  guix-download mirror://sourceforge/check/check/0.9.9/check-0.9.9.tar.gz

Thanks!
