You could try: `guix pull --substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org
https://ci.guix.gnu.org https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org"`. Since you are on
Debian, you should authorize the servers. More of the authorization
here:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Substitute-Server-Authorization.html.
You could always dry-run your commands to see if the substitutes work.
