HF CLI downloads slowly

Hello, I’m downloading models using hf cli. For some reason, they’re downloading very slowly, even though my internet speed is 100 mb/s and hf_xet is present

Hmm… Does that mean it’s fast without using the HF CLI, like in a browser?

I’m getting pretty slow speeds both on my browser and using the CLI. The speed is pretty consistent between them too. I checked with a VPN and it bypasses the arbitrary speed cap when I change locations to different regions. I’m in PH by the way.


Troubleshooting indicates its an issue with the Singapore AWS CDN. Aside from a VPN is there anything I can do to fix the issue? It wasn’t like this before.
