Huggingface Dataset Download Stuck in Kaggle
Hugging Face Forums [Unofficial]
April 12, 2026
When I try to download a dataset file (with API set and huggingface_hub up-to-date), the download progress always get stuck as shown in the image.
I can confirm it is not due to the UI itself as the disk storage indicated in Kaggle did not went up.
hf_hub_download(
repo_id=self.repo_id,
filename=file_path,
repo_type="dataset",
cache_dir=self.temp_dir
)
A few days ago everything is perfectly normal. This is so frustrating, not sure what went wrong. Any help is appreciate!
