Hi all,
You may be aware that curl in many cases struggles to download large files reliable on slower internet connections.
The current approach will often end with a connection error during download

curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

Suggestion:

Replace curl with e.g. aria2 (much more reliable for large downloads)

For myself I did the following below:

I modified the install script
I use aria2 to download the package manually - and then run the modified install script separately

status "Downloading Linux ${ARCH} bundle"

if [ ! -f "ollama-linux-${ARCH}.tgz" ]; then
curl --fail --show-error --location --progress-bar
"https://ollama.com/download/ollama-linux-${ARCH}.tgz${VER_PARAM}"
-o "ollama-linux-${ARCH}.tgz"
else
status "Using already downloaded package for installation"

fi

Thanks for the great work - I'm a big fan of the Ollama project
Ernst
