Not sure if anyone else experiences this, but ollama downloads starts off strong but the last few MBs take forever.

Finally just finished downloading (gemma3:27b). Requires the latest version of Ollama to use, but now working, getting about 21 tok/s on my local 2x A4000.

From my few test prompts looks like a quality model, going to run more tests to compare against mistral-small:24b to see if it's going to become my new local model.

There are some fixes coming to uniformly speed up pulls. We've been testing that out but there are a lot of moving pieces with the new engine so it's not here quite yet.

It might not be downloading but converting the model. Or if it's already downloading a properly formatted model file, deduping on disk which I hear it does. This also makes its model files on disk useless for other frontends.

I experienced this just now. The download slowed down to approx 500kB/s for the last 1% or so. When this happens, you can Ctrl+C to cancel and then start the download again It will continue from where it left off, but at regular (fast) download speed.
