Hello sir

I'm an outreachy applicant and would love to contribute GNU guix video documentation project.

As a prerequisite, I began installation of guix as additional package manager on top of my linux based system.

I downloaded guix-binary-0.15.0.x86_64-linux.tar from https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/ and procceeded with the binary installation process as mentioned in https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html#Binary-Installation.

But when I tried to download the .sig file, using the command

wget ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.15.0.system.tar.xz.sig
on my terminal, it returned an error:

Connecting to alpha.gnu.org (alpha.gnu.org)|2001:4830:134:3::c|:21... failed: Network is unreachable.

There wasn't a way to proceed further as the next step was to verify this file which couldn't be downloaded.
Please suggest a possible way to tackle this. Looking forward to your reply and towards contributing in this organization
PS. I have also joined the IRC channel #guix, nickname: namrataM.
