What is the issue?

I was pulling a large model (e.g., qwen3-coder) using ollama pull and also had the Ollama Chat GUI open and actively using it with other predownloaded models.

While the model was still downloading, I closed the Chat GUI window.

Immediately after closing the GUI, the ongoing model pull was terminated, and I got the following error:

Error: Post "http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/show": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:11434: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

When I tried to download the same model again, the download started from scratch, even though several GBs had already been downloaded.

✅ Expected Behavior:

  • The model pull should continue in the background even if the Chat GUI is closed.
  • If interrupted, the download should resume from the last completed chunk, not start over.

❌ Actual Behavior:

  • Closing the Ollama Chat GUI window during an active pull completely terminates the process.
  • Download progress is lost, and rerunning the command starts the pull from 0%.
