Your problem is not directly with ollama, it's that your machine is unable to lookup the address of the server that is hosting the model you are trying to download. This has been a problem for a while (#8605). The usual way to fix this is to use a different DNS server. A quick way to work around it is by telling your machine what IP address to use:

echo 162.159.141.50 dd20bb891979d25aebc8bec07b2b3bbc.r2.cloudflarestorage.com | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
