Same issue, can't pull any model of any size including gpt-oss through the new app from ollama.com -- the download is simply stuck at 0% even after letting it sit for 20+ minutes.

If you run Internet sites for Russian users

If you are using Cloudflare to protect your sites, unfortunately, at this time, Cloudflare does not have the ability to restore Internet connectivity for Russia-based users. We advise you to reach out and solicit Russian entities to lift the throttling measures that have been put in place.
If you are a Cloudflare enterprise customer, please reach out to your account team for further assistance.
Access to a free and open Internet is critical for individual rights and economic development. We condemn any attempt to prevent Russian citizens from accessing it.

As far as I know, the ollama models are stored on the Cloudflare R2 object storages and distributed via Cloudflare CDNs worldwide (as shown screenshot below).

According to the reports a few weeks ago by Cloudflare, this issue was caused by Russia's ISPs, not by Ollama or Cloudflare.

In this case, you guys should thank your president, VLADIMIR PUTIN!
And by the way, welcome to the VPN world!😂😂😂
