Built-in Ollama example: pulling error from ollama: "stalled; retrying. If this persists"

[gusseppe]

If having the following error when running this script (download.sh) to download models from ollama:

time=2025-01-19T16:09:54.920+03:30 level=INFO source=download.go:370 msg="170370233dd5 part 11 stalled; retrying. If this persists, press ctrl-c to exit, then 'ollama pull' to find a faster connection."

You can change the following part to make it working.

From this:

/bin/ollama pull $ollama_model_name

To this:

until timeout 10s /bin/ollama pull "$ollama_model_name"; do
  echo "Pull timed out or stalled. Retrying..."
  sleep 1
done

Inspired on this issue from ollama repo.

Thanks for filing the issue, will take a look soon!

After reviewing this, I think we will wait for this to be fixed in the Ollama project since we are just providing this script as an example. Feel free to add a PR with documentation, or we can leave this issue open until upstream finds a fix.
