How to Enable High-Performance Downloads
Install the Rust Transfer Extension:
Run pip install hf_transfer in your active Python environment.
Enable the Transfer Flag:
Set the environment variable HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 before starting your download script or CLI command.
Use the CLI or Python API:
Once enabled, standard commands like huggingface-cli download or programmatic calls using snapshot_download() automatically route through the high-performance Rust backend, bypassing default bottlenecks to reach speeds over 1GB/s on high-bandwidth networks.
