faster-whisper Model Download Tool - Manual Model Download

By default, the software automatically downloads the required models. If you frequently encounter download failures or wish to download manually, you can download a dedicated model download tool here.

1. Download the Tool:

   • For Users in Mainland China (Recommended):

     • Link 1: Click to download down_hf-mirror.exe from GitHub
     • Baidu Netdisk Link: Click to download down_hf-mirror.exe
     • (Note: This version downloads from a domestic mirror site, offering fast speeds and typically requires no extra network configuration.)

   • For Overseas Users or Users with Stable Proxies:

     • Click to download down_huggingface.exe
     • (Note: This version downloads from the official Hugging Face website. You need stable access to the international internet or a properly configured system proxy.)

2. How to Use:

   • Place the downloaded .exe file in the same folder as the main program (in the same directory as sp.exe).
   • Double-click the .exe file you downloaded. It will open a command-line window and automatically start downloading all required models.
   • The download process may take some time, especially for the large series models which are very large files. Please wait patiently until the window indicates that all downloads are complete.

Important Notes:

• Models like large-v1, large-v2, large-v3 are very large (several GB). If your network connection is unstable, the download may fail midway.
• If the download fails, don't worry, simply double-click and run the same .exe file again. It supports resuming interrupted downloads and will continue from where it left off.
