Stuck when trying to download any model to use in Colab

A user reports being unable to download models from Hugging Face in Google Colab, with downloads stuck at 1% despite trying workarounds like disabling HF_HUB_DISABLE_XET. The issue affects both embedding models and large language models.

Hello, Today, when I tried to download a model from Hugging Face to use in Google Colab, it kept getting stuck at 1%. I don’t know why that’s happening. I’ve tried everything, such as disabling it HF HUB DISABLE XET = 1 , but it didn’t work. Not only stuck when downloading the embedding model, but also the LLM Please help. Thank you.
