I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ curl -LI  
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.3.0.x86_64-linux.qcow2 | 
grep Content-Type
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Does it mean the issue is gone?

Cheers,
