Hi， Jason

I just test the mirror using the command line above, it don't work too.
I am looking to it, and find that seems because the -net socket problem that
I have ever post a patch  try to fix（refer to ↓）
[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] report a error message if -net socket can not connect to 
server
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-12/msg00758.html

after applying this patch, the qemu monitor tell me following message:
(qemu) qemu-system-x86_64: net socket is not connected Connection refused
