I am trying to download the sd-v1-4.ckpt weights for stable diffusion, but even after several attempts the downlaod stops at 2,7MB with a network error. I do not experience similar errors when downloading big files, so I assume it might be a licence problem. Can anyone help?

It’s not necessarily a license problem directly, but rather a combination of factors related to how the file is distributed and the strain on those distribution channels.
Solution:
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 the server is overloaded, the best solution might be to wait and try again later when traffic is lower.

As a bit of trivia, if you’re using Windows, you’ll probably have to install git and git lfs from the installer first, otherwise it’ll probably fail.
