Ollama: 'blocked redirect to a different host'

A Hugging Face forum user reported that an Ollama pull of the model hf-co/empero-ai/Qwen3.8-35B-A3B-Distill-GGUF:Q8_0 failed with a "blocked redirect to a different host" error before resolving on its own. Forum user negdev attributed the failure to a temporary CDN switch on Hugging Face's side, noting that Ollama blocks cross-host redirects for safety, and asked whether pull speed and model loading behaved normally after the issue cleared.

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.
