I uploaded a model to huggingface, it has a pytorch_model.bin that is 12.2gb large, the sha256 is the same for website and locally but when i download it again, it is 11.7gb sha256 is different and its unopenable. I can confirm this behavior happens on a direct download, in kobold-ai colab and kobold-ai local. I couldn’t find anyone else having this issue, any ideas?

          I have also faced this issue multiple times…
possible solutions:
Git LFS (Large File Storage):
- 
Hugging Face uses Git LFS for large files. Ensure you have Git LFS installed and configured properly. You can check by running
git lfs installand then cloning the repository again. - 
- Hugging Face provides a faster transfer tool called 
hf_transfer. You can enable it by installing thehuggingface_hublibrary and setting the environment variableHF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1. This might help with large file downloads.

- Instead of downloading directly, try using the Hugging Face Python library:
 
 
python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
hf_hub_download(repo_id="your_repo_id", filename="pytorch_model.bin")
Replace "your_repo_id" with the actual repository ID.
