HuggingFace model downloads are not counted

I’m trying to get HuggingFace to count the downloads of a model, but it refuses to count it.

The model in questions is uploaded here:

Users either download via a direct GIT LFS link.

Or via huggingface_hub python API but neither are counted.

I’ve created a dummy config.yaml which is counted but obviously has nothing to do with that model.

The count of downloads is a mystery, except that it’s basically the last month. Is fraud prevention malfunctioning?
If you download some of the many files, they don’t get counted, or if they are from_pretrained, they get counted at a high rate…

We can guess a lot, but if it’s possible, ask him and I’m sure he’ll solve it in a moment.
I think he is like a representative of the maintainers of the hub.

We have some documentation to help you understand how we count models at Models Download Stats, there is also a link to add support for a library if we don’t support it yet.

Thanks John and Pierre. It’s working now. I went down the easy route and made a config.yaml mandatory to use the model (which was a good idea anyway). So it seems downloads are counted now…
