What is the issue?

I am trying to download deepseek r1 in Ubuntu (a fresh install) and ollama does not download anything. It's stuck on pulling manifest.

A sytstemctl status ollama shows this

It seems it cannot access the place where the models are stored. I have no firewall, vpn or proxy. I also have no internet problems as everything else is working fine.

Yes, I just rebooted into Windows now, where I know 100% everything works (as it was working a few hours ago) and ollama still cannot pull deepseek r1 (or any other model). Thus the problem is not on my side but rather the cloudflare servers or wherever the models are stored. I will wait a bit and retry. If it works then, I will delete this issue.

set noprune to false
then stop and redownload the models.
