How to workaround Ollama models pull issues

This article addresses a common issue with the Ollama client where pulling models fails due to connection resets, causing downloads to restart from scratch. It provides a detailed bash script solution that manually fetches model manifests and layers with curl, enabling resumable downloads. The guide includes steps to save, make executable, and run the script to successfully pull models like deepseek-r1:8b despite the client bug.
