What is the issue?

C:\Users\skybu>ollama run qwen3:8b
pulling manifest
pulling a3de86cd1c13: 98% ▕████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ▏ 5.1 GB/5.2 GB 233 KB/s 8m45s

The download for this particular model keeps going up and down... in percentages too, very strange...

Not sure if local solid state disk issue or server issue or bug in ollama, normally never a problem...

Relevant log output

@rick-github commented on GitHub (Oct 8, 2025):

A network issue or a CDN server issue. Interrupting the download and restarting the pull without restarting the server will resume the download at 98%, and it might work this time.
