Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11548

What is the issue?

Facing an issue trying to download Ollama from the website: https://ollama.com/download/windows. The download always fails at ~90% due to a network issue. My internet is not the issue here. I'm able to download and run Ollama on my Mac device and Linux VMs. Facing this issue solely for Windows.

Specs:
Host Name: WINDOWS-10
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language
OS Version: 10.0.19045 N/A Build 19045

Tried the fix mentioned here: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8628, facing the same issue repeatedly.

Download the windows installer on the Mac device or Linux VM, copy it to the windows machine, run it.

<!-- gh-comment-id:3124791193 --> @rick-github commented on GitHub (Jul 27, 2025): Download the [windows installer]( https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/download/v0.10.0-rc2/OllamaSetup.exe) on the Mac device or Linux VM, copy it to the windows machine, run it.

I tried downloading the windows installer from the website directly. Haven't had an issue downloading *.exe files on these systems before. Also tried to wget the GitHub URL mentioned in the linked previous issue.

For Linux and Mac installers, I used the curl command and the "Download for MacOS" button respectively.

If you used wget and the download fails at 90%, run wget again with --continue to continue the download.

Although I'm positive I must've tried that. Let me check once again.
