Stuck at download model after launch program (Linux, DGX Spark)

[paulscliu]

I was able to build the linux version of LTX-Desktop from source and the program started up normally in DGX Spark. After enter the API key, it proceed to download the model but downloading never start. It always stay at 0%. Is there a way to debug the problem.

It always stay at 0%. Is there a way to debug the problem.

the progress bar there is not working well and does not reflect the actual progress. i'd give it some time, the models are pretty large.

I can confirm it is progress bar problem. The actual download can be found at LTXDesktop/models/.downloading/.cache/huggingface/download. The downloading file size do increase as time progress. I use bmon to monitor network and do see actual transfer happening. This is progress bar problem.

It is actually more reliable to use wget to download the models. If models are already downloaded else where like in ComfyUI, you can also just copy them to models folder in the LTXDesktop.

We're improved the progress bar, it should now better reflect the actual progress and speed.
