"textContent": "Since yesterday afternoon (April 1st), I’ve been experiencing extremely slow upload speeds when uploading GGUF model files to the Hub using `hf upload`. The uploads start at a reasonable speed but progressively slow down from ~1 MB/s, then downgrades to a few KB/s, and eventually stall completely at ~110 KB/s with seemingly no progress at all.\n\nWhat I’ve tried:\n\n * Uploading all files at once vs single file, same issue\n * Disabling xet (`HF_HUB_ENABLE_XET=0`) and hf-transfer (`HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=0`), same issue\n * Using an older version of huggingface-hub (0.36.2) — same issue\n * Checked status.huggingface.co, no reported issues\n * My internet connection is fine for everything else\n\n\n\nThe pattern is consistent: uploads begin at normal speed, then gradually degrade over a few minutes until they completely stop progressing. This happens regardless of file size or number of files being uploaded.\n\nEnvironment:\n\n * huggingface-hub: 1.8.0 (also tested with 0.36.2)\n * OS: Windows 11 Pro\n * Files: GGUF model files ranging from 11GB to 47GB\n\n\n\nThis was working fine until yesterday. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?",
