 How to find the line you're looking for?

 nixos-rebuild --fast --keep-going test

 nixos-rebuild --fast -j 1 test

 The line which tells you what's going on is there - but hidden within
 many different lines output by others parallel builds. Its line 139:

 error: cannot download nvi-1.79.tar.gz?attredirects=0 from any mirror

 By using --keep-going then -j1 you'll get to the failing build fastest.
 (Or try building it directly using nix-build -A .. or such)

Well I had figured the problem up to that point (line 139 and all) -
thanks
for the nixos-rebuild theory, though :) Always nice to know! 
 Attaching the patch updating it.

 Eelco Dolstra has a command to mirror source packages. I suspect he
 should put it into a cron-job :)

I have a feeling that has been said someplace else, already. Am I wrong? ,)
