@pdevine commented on GitHub (Jun 16, 2025):

This is expected behaviour. Models are broken up into "image layers" which can be shared with other models (and can be referenced by the manifest), so it's possible that a person has already downloaded part of a given model and they don't need to download it again. We also hand off downloads to cloudflare for the individual image layers so it's tricky for ollama.com to know exactly when a download is finished.

The way this gets protected against is through rate limiting. The automatic rate limiting will kick in if you try to hit the API too much, and then at some point we'll just ban the IP address if we see someone abusing it.

Thanks for response but sorry i don't write the issue correctly,😥. But as you say that if someone abuse this you can block that i donot know that, if this is the case then it is clear
