When I download the grub iso (latest) from nix website it takes almost 5 hours to download, I tried doing a speed test and I’m pretty confident that it’s not comming from my internet connection. It’s sad, I’m new to nixOS so it almost makes me regret giving it a try ):

There are no mirror websites, NixOS uses the Fastly CDN.

Is it normal that downloading iso takes so long?

I guess your main issue is resolved, but in terms of mirrors, I know of this unofficial one at Tsinghua University:

Depending on your location, you may find that a good alternative.
