Have you tried updating to the newest version and seeing if this still happens? I'm on an M2 Mac mini on a newer version and this doesn't happen to me.

Have you successfully pulled models before? What's the output of the following command:

curl -D - https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/library/llama3.1/manifests/latest

I have tried other models, like mistral and gemma, and it does work. Manifest is pulled successfully, I observed this specific to llama3.1

Hey @rick-github, I find it surprising, as I tried pulling the model, with a different wifi, and this time around it works, without any issues.

What could be the underlying issue, as I am not able replicate the same issue. While the other day, it happened, even after updating ollama using pip, and reoccurred multiple times. But today its able to pull.

Looks like a transient issue, no repro.
