What is the issue?

I was downloading the DeepSeek-R1 (70b) model, and my download was going backwards. For example, if the download reaches 500MB, it will go to 450MB and then go above 500MB.
Here's a Video for this behavior

Server logs will aid in debugging, but this likely the stalling problem:https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8632. This script may work on macOS.

My Windows also encounters this problem. At first, it is fully utilized, and then it approaches zero.

The download stalls should be mitigated as of 0.5.8 by #8831 and #9294 provides an overhaul of model pulling, so closing but feel free to add updates if you are still having issues.
