Hoping no issues on Huggingface due to download rush.
- someguyornotidk 2mo agoFor huge models like these, the only reasonable way to host them is via torrents. I don't understand why hf doesn't offer this as an option. Linux distributions got this right: Offer both HTTP and Torrents. Let the user decide.
