Hugging Face Downloader Portable

Hugging Face Downloader Portable is a free, self-contained Windows application for downloading models, datasets, and other files from Hugging Face repositories. Built with C# and WPF, it provides a graphical interface for browsing repository files, selecting individual files, and managing downloads without using the command line.

Features

• Repository browsing — view files and select individual files to download.
• Download queue — manage multiple downloads in one place.
• Pause and resume — pause downloads and continue them later.
• Cancellation — cancel downloads when they are no longer needed.
• Automatic retries — retry failed requests and recover from interrupted downloads.
• SHA-256 verification — verify file integrity when checksums are provided by the repository.
• Download history — search and sort previous downloads.
• SQLite storage — keep download history locally.
• Hugging Face authentication — optionally access private repositories and gated models using your credentials.
