Public problem

hf download on a large dataset always gets stuck after a while. The progress bars and the XET log just stop updating. Restarting lets it download a bit more, then it hangs again. Disabling XET did not change anything.

This is a known bug in the XET download path that causes large downloads to hang. The Xet team identified it from logs and shipped a fix in hf-xet 1.5.2, so run pip install hf-xet==1.5.2 or newer and the stuck downloads should go through. A few people confirmed the release candidate fixed it for them before it shipped. Source: https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/issues/4520

Shows how to fix hf download gets stuck on large downloads. Use it when you hit this exact problem. Skip it when your error message or symptom looks different.
Fix for review agents that time out pulling full CI log artifacts when they only need the failure context.
Fixes the environment mismatch where an agent debugs in a sandbox with browsers preinstalled while CI downloads them fresh on every run.
