Having trouble downloading?
I was having trouble downloading models from huggingface through Firefox. It would get 99% done and then say it was failed, unauthorized, and canceled. Clicking retry would fail. After trying that twice, I used wget. That too failed, corrupting the download with the unauthorized message prepended to it. That was Firefox's fault though. Firefox left a residual error file with the same name, and I accidentally added to it with wget's continue function.
What I wound up doing was using wget from within a google collab instance. And then downloading the model to my PC from google drive... Which also failed because google collab timed out and logged out. So once again I signed in to the google worksheet and repeated the download. But this time I kept the worksheet active by clicking on some harmless script on it, such as a directory listing, (!ls) once every few minutes.
Now I am trying again with wget direct to PC and this model. Here is the command I am using.
wget -c -O blenderllm-iq3_xxs-imat.gguf https://huggingface.co/hellork/BlenderLLM-IQ3_XXS-GGUF/resolve/main/blenderllm-iq3_xxs-imat.gguf?download=true
