Hi @OguzcanOzdemir, this isn't possible yet. The only way right now is with ollama pull or calling the pull API endpoint (in ollama running locally).

@pdevine I have the same question, the reason being that I can't download any model from the terminal, the download progress gets stuck on all models after 1 GB of data. I did set the models to be stored on the external SSD with the env variable.

@abdurahmanadilovic what's the error that you're seeing? Does it just hang? Also, what's the output of ollama -v?

@pdevine I connected the SSD directly to my Type C port on my MacBook with its original cable and looks like it works now.
