Pause & resume feature for model download #163

Closed ecelia closed 3 months ago

ecelia commented 3 months ago

If possible, a pause and resume feature for downloading big models would make sense.

The issue is this feature is not available in ollama as ollama is the backend of this this seems to be extremely hard to implement i request you to also post a feature request in ollama github. So it can be solved.

Apparently an environment variable OLLAMA_NOPRUNE must be set for an api pull in order to resume downloads.

yeah the problem with this is that, OLLAMA_NOPRUNE is meant to recover downloads that have being interrupted by the process dying or the computer turning off, it isn't possible to, let's say, pause one download and continue with another one at the same time. If Ollama includes an actual way of doing this I will add it, but as for now, there's nothing I can do
