Ollama Model Downloader

A simple Python script to download multiple Ollama models sequentially. Set and forget. Helpful when you're internet can't support multiple concurrent downloads, or when downloading concurrently causes the downloads to fail.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Ollama installed and working on your system (Install Ollama)

Installation

1. Download the ollamaDownloader.py script
2. Ensure you have Ollama installed and working (ollama --version should work in your terminal)

Usage

Run this command in the terminal/powershell with a comma-separated list of model names:

python ollamaDownloader.py "model1,model2,model3"

Example:

python ollamaDownloader.py "phi3:14b-medium-128k-instruct-q5_0,qwen2.5-coder:14b-instruct-q4_0"

The script will:

1. Download each model sequentially
2. Show download progress in real-time
3. Wait 5 seconds between downloads
4. Report success or failure for each model
