Over the last day when using wget to download a stable diffusion model I get 403 errors. Copy/pasting the URL into a web browser window works. It is not token related as I do not need to be logged into the browser. Used to work fine before today. Fails on multiple PCs/connections. Fails for any model I try and download on huggingface, not just the SD model(s). Any ideas? Temp server issue (I hope)? wget commandline is; wget [https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1/resolve/main/v2-1\_768-ema-pruned.ckpt](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1/resolve/main/v2-1_768-ema-pruned.ckpt) -O “C:\target\Stable Diffusion v2\v2-1\_768-ema-pruned.ckpt” --tries=1 --no-check-certificate --progress=bar:force wget stats show… (NOTE I had to edit urls to have no . or \ as new users cannot post more than 2 links) > Resolving huggingface\_co (huggingface\_co)… 3.231.67.228, 54.235.118.239 > Connecting to huggingface\_co (huggingface\_co)|3.231.67.228|:443… connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response… 302 Found > Location: https\_cdn-lfshuggingface\_co/repos/b4/71/b47143176d3790e957485b59cc13cf072a4b2cbe3340d1b8fa86f53d7197236f/ad2a33c361c1f593c4a1fb32ea81afce2b5bb7d1983c6b94793a26a3b54b08a0?response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename\*%3DUTF-8%27%27v2-1\_768-ema-pruned.ckpt%3B+filename%3D%22v2-1\_768-ema-pruned.ckpt%22%3B&Expires=1674840333&Policy=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\_\_&Signature=wPPInwNRaKyExERPQluRs41YR1rrVPhuwqkt6WlJkSiXigQYfjkv2vgi-ouVmIRHgqyOGNIzNC2MX8AAKPEcSc3NM75yCCf5VTdZpR%7EVRTs3uUcVuPRDQ1E8oNbu5HX4mcr%7EhKO3h2oJNM5A1iXcMDwTcCkKAZUuKLB8l%7EMBJ3iJd%7EuaZFFfYGcOW%7EKbCMLzwo%7ExP%7EFvumDNwNMdbFk9e9qVTtErAWwf9k1g6memIK6HPNoiv4n1i98oQdkHHLO1gKrxJ3OW60JH%7E2RkParilNxWUoIiJhMSzWusGS854wGmF9HTnX3Zh197n5ajI88XRCYzPR-f1K3rL8nvWN8IpQ\_\_&Key-Pair-Id=KVTP0A1DKRTAX [following] > –2023-01-25 04:56:29-- [https://cdn-lfs.huggingface.co/repos/b4/71/b47143176d3790e957485b59cc13cf072a4b2cbe3340d1b8fa86f53d7197236f/ad2a33c361c1f593c4a1fb32ea81afce2b5bb7d1983c6b94793a26a3b54b08a0?response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename\*%3DUTF-8](https://cdn-lfs.huggingface.co/repos/b4/71/b47143176d3790e957485b59cc13cf072a4b2cbe3340d1b8fa86f53d7197236f/ad2a33c361c1f593c4a1fb32ea81afce2b5bb7d1983c6b94793a26a3b54b08a0?response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename*%3DUTF-8)’'v2-1\_768-ema-pruned.ckpt%3B+filename%3D%22v2-1\_768-ema-pruned.ckpt%22%3B&Expires=1674840333&Policy=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\_\_&Signature=wPPInwNRaKyExERPQluRs41YR1rrVPhuwqkt6WlJkSiXigQYfjkv2vgi-ouVmIRHgqyOGNIzNC2MX8AAKPEcSc3NM75yCCf5VTdZpR~VRTs3uUcVuPRDQ1E8oNbu5HX4mcr~hKO3h2oJNM5A1iXcMDwTcCkKAZUuKLB8l~MBJ3iJd~uaZFFfYGcOW~KbCMLzwo~xP~FvumDNwNMdbFk9e9qVTtErAWwf9k1g6memIK6HPNoiv4n1i98oQdkHHLO1gKrxJ3OW60JH~2RkParilNxWUoIiJhMSzWusGS854wGmF9HTnX3Zh197n5ajI88XRCYzPR-f1K3rL8nvWN8IpQ\_\_&Key-Pair-Id=KVTP0A1DKRTAX > Resolving cdn-lfs\_huggingface\_co (cdn-lfs\_huggingface\_co)… 13.227.254.123, 13.227.254.52, 13.227.254.47, … > Connecting to cdn-lfs\_huggingface\_co (cdn-lfs\_huggingface\_co)|13.227.254.123|:443… connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response… 403 Forbidden > 2023-01-25 04:56:30 ERROR 403: Forbidden. ---

hi @Softology, not really seeing this error from here, could you try another file? can you try it via a VPN? just for testing `wget https://huggingface.co/gpt2/resolve/main/64-8bits.tflite` ---

Hi @radames I still have **the same problem** when I try to run the example in the model card of **Jean-Baptiste/camembert-ner-with-dates** ---

hi @amjadlasris on this repo the issue was different, it should be fixed now. ---

Hi @radames we were also seeing something similar today with `rajjwal1/bert-tiny` in our production environment, thankfully we have the model locally and can package that in with it, but the problem seems to be ongoing as it is not even possible for me to download this model from the hubs files and versions page. Not sure how many others have this issue but this is quite a popular model so thought I would flag that here. ---
