download.sh closes without downloading anything.

[Vermath]

I've tried poddering through a few of the tips here, but the typical tips of 'make sure the URL is correct' etc haven't had any impact.

It runs, I input the URL, I specify a model, it zips through a few lines of code, then closes the bash terminal without doing anything.

Any assistance would be helpful. Thanks.

Same issue for me. Getting 403 forbidden when it tries to download the model files and then finishes saying it could not find any MD5 checksums.

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden

Checking checksums
md5sum: checklist.chk: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found

First 7 consolidated.pth of 70B-chat downloaded perfectly. 8th failed with 403. Can't download any models now. This was the first download with my URL. Requesting a second download URL. Let's see if that works...

Same issue here. I am still waiting for the new requested url...

Open a command line, clone the repo, and cd into it.
Then:
$ chmod 755 download.sh
$ ./download.sh
Now, when passing the URL to the download script, make sure you're pasting an URL that begins with https://download.llamameta.net and not with https://l.facebook.com.
If you copy the link address from the e-mail, you will get a https://l.facebook.com address, that's not what we want.
We want the https://download.llamameta.net address, as displayed in the message body itself.
Better copy-paste it as plain text through a text editor first, before passing it on to the download script.
I hope this helps.

Had the same issue. Went back to the Meta Llama page and filled in the request again.
Email took about 30 seconds to come through. URL works this time.

Steps taken:

• Delete existing llama folder
• Reclone from git
• Re-request email
• Click on URL in email. This takes you to a webpage
• The webpage is at a URL beginning download.llamameta.net/ and the header text reads: This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
• It displays as Error XML mapping in the space below.
• Copy the URL from the browser URL bar and enter that in terminal when requested.
• Success.

NB - The first time around I had right clicked and copied the URL directly from the email. On a second attempt with the same URL, I had clicked it first, and was taken to a webpage. This webpage was DIFFERENT from the one described above. Would be interested to know if people who follow the exact same steps I applied on my second attempt find success.

Edit: My experience mirrors the post by diogoff directly above this post. Only minor diff is that I used chmod +x download.sh to give execute permissions.

The URL in the email beginning with https://download.llamameta.net.., if you right-click on it and copy the link then you'll get a URL beginning with https://l.facebook.com/..., this won't work.

You need to select the text of the URL and copy the text, not the link - it should begin with https://download.llamameta.net.

This worked for me (so far, still downloading).

Keep getting HTTP 403 randomly.. after some retries then I hit the limit. :/

Try using your email instead!

same thing here

[mustafamerttunali]

I was getting HTTP 403 but then I sent a request access again from https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads/ now I'm downloading. Here are the steps I followed:

1. git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama
2. cd llama
3. chmod 755 download.sh
4. ./download.sh

After that make sure you copied the link correctly. If you right-click on it it'll copy wrong link. Make sure you select the text of the URL and copy the text. It should begin with https://download.llamameta.net.

Hey,
I'm getting the same 403 error as many people.
I've properly copied the key and all.
it starts with "https://download.llamameta.net/*?Policy=eyJTdGF(....)"

[asselinpaul]

re-requesting access with another email solved it for me
