CharacterGen will not download models

[encoded-evolution]

using Comfy30_WinPortable, Win 10, Nvidia 4080

When trying to run any of the workflows for CharacterGen, get this error when trying to download the model using the force_download = true:
It begins to download, and files are in fact being downloaded. However, then:

!!! Exception during processing !!! [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'E:\\SD\\NVIDIA\\ComfyUI\\Trellis-Hunyan\\Comfy3D_WinPortable\\ComfyUI\\custom_nodes\\ComfyUI-3D-Pack\\Checkpoints\\CharacterGen\\.cache\\huggingface\\download\\2D_Stage\\models\\checkpoint\\pytorch_model.bin.78c23c5e22d9c288d71414ec9604430b1298e652bb596ca2ff594792c1be4286.incomplete'

And download fails.

I have tried cloning the model repo locally and switching force_download to false. That does not work either, and produces this error:

[Comfy3D] Load CharacterGen MVDiffusion Model
_get_model_file() got an unexpected keyword argument 'resume_download'

What's the next step to fix this?

Same issue here. Are there instructions on how to manually download the models and where to put them?

This is because resume_download was depreciated, and finally removed, from huggingface_hub. It now auto resumes without prompting. resume_download needs to be removed from the each of the CharacterGen python scripts for it to work again.

A reported workaround is to downgrade the diffusers to 0.29.1, however I have not tested this myself.

This is the commit where resume_download was removed:
huggingface/huggingface_hub@4df59b4

I'll create a new issue so I can be flagged and tracked as a bug.

@GabrielR thank you for raising this. I have posted a link to this thread from a related issue I posted on the Comfy 3D Pack repo issues. cc: @MrForExample
