CLI-Tool for download Huggingface models and datasets with aria2/wget: hfd

🤗 Hugging Face Downloader

Note

(2026-03-10) Ported CAMD reliability updates: retry/backoff controls, network timeout controls, and proxy-prefix fallback support. (2025-01-08) Added revision selection via --revision, contributed by @Bamboo-D. (2024-12-17) Switched to the metadata/file-list flow for faster startup and resume without git clone.

This script downloads models and datasets from Hugging Face with curl plus either aria2c or wget. It keeps the repo's fast metadata-based startup and resume behavior, and now also includes the CAMD script's retry/backoff and timeout controls.
