Download issue with large models (NO File Error)
Download process is unstable, easily reporting 'No File' and failing the download with no chance for resumption or recovery.
Happened to me @ 65/74GB, multiple times.
A waste of resources for both the provider and user in this state.
I think larger ggufs are split into multiple part files, did you check that?
@Falkens What model are you trying to download and how are you trying to download it? Are you using the convenient download page so they are already concatenated, the HuggingFace website download or huggingface-cli using XET? If your internet connection is unstable, I recommend to to download from the HuggingFace website using a download manager that lets you resume downloads such as JDownloader2.
i tried downloading the “i1-q4_K_M” variant from the convenient download page “https://hf.tst.eu/model#Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B-Eschaton-Uncensored-i1-GGUF” on the browser with a relatively stable cellular network (some jitter and packet loss)
If I understood right, the links are resumable when downloaded using a download manager application, just not through the browser?
I thought the issue might relate to premature user session expiration, browser auto-reloading, or time-based expiration.
I'm surprised your cellular network even lets you download such massive amounts of data. Here even your unlimited cellular plan gets rate limited to unusable speeds after around 50 GB. In any case for a cellular connection the convenient download page is absolutely the wrong way to download the model this is by design never resumable in case there is even the slightest connection interruption as JavaScript is downloading and concatenating the different parts from HuggingFace on the fly and due to JavaScript security restrictions on the fly constructed files can never be resumed. This is not even a file large enough to require concatenation so just download it from HuggingFace using: https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B-Eschaton-Uncensored-i1-GGUF/resolve/main/Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B-Eschaton-Uncensored.i1-Q4_K_M.gguf - any browser should be able to resume that and if not use a download manager or download it using huggingface-hub[cli] using hf download hf://mradermacher/Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B-Eschaton-Uncensored-i1-GGUF/Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B-Eschaton-Uncensored.i1-Q4_K_M.gguf
