HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf.huggingbay.xyz hf download Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-GGUF qwen2.5-0.5b-instruct-q4_k_m.gguf

Download the file

Install the Hugging Face CLI first. With a file selected, run its command in your terminal. The client prints the saved path and may reuse a file already in your local cache.

Make it permanent

Add one line to your shell profile, then open a new terminal.

export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf.huggingbay.xyz

To switch back to Hugging Face, remove that line or run unset HF_ENDPOINT (PowerShell: Remove-Item Env:HF_ENDPOINT), then open a new terminal.

Good to know

Public files we do not host go on to the same path at huggingface.co. Held files and org allowlists stay here.
We discard your saved Hugging Face token. Gated and private repos need a direct Hugging Face download with your own sign-in.
Transformers needs every required file in a model, including config, tokenizer, and weights.
Older installs may use huggingface-cli instead of hf download.
A file listing here does not prove your tool can load or run the model.
Public metadata can lag privacy changes by about 5 minutes; every download is checked again.
