Hi @ahgsql could you try version 0.1.42 of Ollama? There was a lot of improvemzents in Windows version.

I have version 0.2.8 running in Docker, and I had to quickly shutdown docker engine to reclaim internet bandwidth (to stop downloads). I saw one of the models had finished downloading. After I restarted the container, ollama list was empty, and after I started downloading the same models, all downloads started from scratch despite the Docker volume taking over 50GB. It would be great if the downloads automatically continued after restart...

@scscgit if you cancel the client, not the server, then it will stop the download, and resume the next time you request. If the server restarts, then we'll reset any incomplete downloads.

And if you pull them again, new files will replace partially downloaded ones.

@jmorganca
Ollama could add the .temp extension for temporary files.
This practice clearly indicates that the file is still in the process of being downloaded, preventing confusion with fully downloaded. In case of an interrupted download, it's easy to identify and remove incomplete files.
Using a standard extension like .temp helps maintain consistency across different downloads and applications.
