# "Access Denied" trying to download any model > Source: > Published: 2026-07-13 22:31:57+00:00 [17slim](https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/17slim) 1 Hi! As in the title - trying to download any model or quantization at all results in an “Access Denied” XML response, even for models I have downloaded in the past (like, even a few weeks ago). Is HuggingFace down or something? I have no emails to my account besides the email verification, so I doubt I’ve been locked or anything like that, and these models are open-weights and should be downloadable - so this is really throwing me for a loop. Thanks! same issue, so its probably something on their end I’m getting this on every single download attempt right now `AccessDenied` Access denied This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. `AccessDenied` Access denied … Same Here. Just getting `AccessDenied` Access denied This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. `AccessDenied` Access denied … And it’s very irritating. ANY IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON?
