How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

LLM Download freezes on Windows, will not resume - starts back at 0%..
Restarting application or even computer will not help files resuming download ... Have been trying to download Dolphin-Mixtral for 2 weeks now.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

2 weeks

That is definitely not a reasonable time for a download, however since it does show a % that indicates that it is attempting to communicate or reach Ollamas model server. Are you on a VPN? Others have reported issues downloading models from Ollama (using our built-in or otherwise) when on a VPN or behind a corporate firewall.

I can say this "bug" is network related and on your end and not within the app iteself.

I am not connected through a VPN or anything else, however, the bug I was referring to lies predominately in the inability to resume downloading as indicated in app.

Is there a way to manually import an ollama model from the .ollama blob folder as if it were downloaded natively through AnythingLLM?

Yes! If you have access to an existing Ollama models folder you can copy the blobs and manifests folder into
Windows: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\anythingllm-desktop\storage\models\ollama
Mac: /Library/Application Support/anythingllm-desktop/storage/models/ollama

To stop the existing download you can swap to any other LLM and save it and then swap back. Also if you have Ollama already you can just connect directly to your Ollama running on your machine and avoid all of the above
