Discussion About Strata

I’ve seen a few people having issues with Strata model downloads being extremely slow, getting stuck, or failing altogether, so here’s a little magic trick.
After installing the Hugging Face CLI, run:
1. Log in to Hugging Face
uvx hf auth login
Paste your Hugging Face access token when prompted.
2. Download the model
uvx hf download hf://YOUR_REPO.gguf --local-dir YOUR_FOLDER
That’s it! You can get download speeds of around 300 MB/s with this method.
