Am I the only one having these problems with downloading models from HF?

| I don't have problems with Nvidia buying HF, but I have problems with the fact that lately HF became almost unusable. It is around one month that I experience big problems with downloading models from HF. I have 1Gbit connection and my HF speeds are all over the place jumping from 700kb/s to 98Mb/s, often getting stuck in sub 3Mb/s range. I haven't seen people complaining here about that, so may be I am the only one so unlucky, but I believe that the problem is bigger than one unfortunate consumer, and even Nvidia will be unable to distribute terabytes of data to millions of users without outages, when a new popular model becomes available. I think the only right way is p2p distribution over the Torrent network. Upd: To clarify. Usually it starts at 90Mb/s, after 20-30 minutes it gets to 45Mb/s and 20 minutes later it may go down to 2Mb/s and less. May be indeed my ISP artificially dynamically limiting my speeds, but I haven't seen anything like that apart of HF. Upd2: People pointed out that LM Studio is using their proxy, which might have impacted download speeds. At over 90% downloaded I am hesitant to check this hypothesis, but I am pretty sure that this is the culprit. After that I am switching to hf native cli tool. [link] [comments] |
