while trying:

ollama pull hf-co /empero-ai/Qwen3.8-35B-A3B-Distill-GGUF:Q8_0

got error:

blocked redirect to a different host

edit: resolved after some time

Glad to hear it eventually resolved — that redirect error usually comes from a temporary CDN switch on the HF side, and Ollama blocks cross‑host redirects for safety.

If you have a moment, could you leave a quick feedback about whether the pull speed and model loading behaved normally after the issue cleared? It helps track whether the redirect glitch had any side effects on the client.
