Note: the second section about ftpmirror.gnu.org isn't really true right now(it won't be used until #8 is merged, and hopefully it won't be true if the bad mirror is fixed), but might as well have it to avoid confusion if other mirrors are bad.

I might suggest adding a suggestion to use a VPN as well, since that might be a simpler solution for people who already have access to one.

Added some wording about using a VPN (with easier to click/copy links).

Nit: you can also use nix store add-file

I think we should give one way to do things, this is already a bit of a niche thing to do and I don't think we need this excerpt to be denser than it already is. Snd so if we give only one way to do things, I don't think we should give one that's behind an experimental feature.
