Hello guys,
I have a pretty simple problem. I cannot download model files from huggingface that are bigger than 2.6GB. I tried to download the stable diffusion 1.5 and 2.1 checkpoint file. The download stream stops at exactly 2.6 GB and discontinue. Do I need a subscription?
Tested in different browsers on two different machines in two different regions (and two different internet connections). Of course enough drive space available.
Best

Multiple Solutions 
Use git-lfs (Large File Storage):
If you're downloading from a Git repository that uses Git LFS, ensure you have Git LFS installed.
Git LFS is designed to handle large files efficiently.
If you are attempting to download from hugging face, using the hugging face CLI is often the most reliable method.
After installing the hugging face CLI, and logging in, you can use commands to download the model.
If the server is overloaded, the best solution might be to wait and try again later when traffic is lower.
