It would be helpful if we could instruct ollama to download a model without having to wait for the completion, since the model can be quite large in some cases. Ideally subsequent requests to pull the same model would avoid doing anything (maybe return the current status message?). Eventually once it finishes downloading, it shows up in the /api/tags output.

Thanks!
