Slower but more accurate download protocol option

[andwan0]

Proposal

Current Problem/Issue When I load a UI (ie. Fooocus or Stable Diffusion WebUI then it needs to download further model files.

Since I am on slow mobile broadband then fast downloads will always inccur errors, ie. these 3 large files for Fooocus:

• https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/fav_models/resolve/main/fav/juggernautXL_v8Rundiffusion.safetensors
• https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0/resolve/main/sd_xl_offset_example-lora_1.0.safetensors
• https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/misc/resolve/main/fooocus_expansion.bin

I assume Python is downloading them via fast download protocol ie. UDP-like. My Stable Diffusion app would always fail to load and require me to restart to re-attempt the download in full. No matter how many times I retry, the files downloaded always end up corrupted.

Temporary Manual Resolution To resolve this I manually download the above files via a Download Manager or web browser (which I assume uses TCP-like protocol). Put them into their respective folders and now WebUI/packages works!

Future Proof However, I don't know if different WebUI/packages requires different model files. Also, new version releases will probably require download newer/latest model files. This would be painful to repeat the above steps.

Enhancement/Idea Enhancement is to allow option for Python to use a slower but error-recovery type download protocol.
