Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8203

the install script uses curl for downloading Ollama components. While there is value in adding aria2c support for faster downloads, we can further optimize it with additional aria2c configurations for better reliability and performance.

While waiting on first-party aria2c support, here's a userspace implementation that might help in the meantime: https://github.com/negal/ollama-pull-fix

Python wrapper that uses aria2c (4 connections by default, resumable) to download model blobs, then constructs the local manifest so ollama list recognizes the model. Useful as a workaround on SSL-inspected / unstable networks where the current Go TLS path fails. Drop-in for library/ namespace models.
