That's probably related/specific to your location, as I'm getting a fair
enough speed IMO.

$ nix-prefetch-url

downloading
‘https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-1.11.2/nix-1.11.2-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2’...
[67744/68784 KiB, 6139.6 KiB/s]

We've had a couple GitHub issues reporting speed problems with the
Amazon-served content, but it isn't clear to me what can really be done
about these.

BTW, your URL is wrong but I suppose that was just a typo during writing
the e-mail; otherwise there would be no "speed" to talk about.
