Tried to download models after connecting to Open Web UI directly with IP and Port (to eliminate any possible issue with reverse proxy)
Added DNS entries to docker-compose.yml to solve the issue, but didn't work
Tried purging models on Ubuntu Server with rm -rf /volume1/docker/ollama/models/* and then redownloading models. Didn't Fix. Some models download (like deepseek-r1:1.5b and deepseek-r1:8b) but larger models continue to fail (like deepseek-r1:14b and deepseek-r1:32b).
Tried manually adding nameserver entry to Ollama container by adding echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf via Exec console. Didn't fix.

As i see that you are on console, you can try for download the model directly from ollama on terminal: ollama pull deepseek-r1:8b
(and you can see what happend when it is downloading and its duration, if there are retries,..., you can look for other models as well in https://ollama.com/search )
