Am I downloading directly from HuggingFace when I download models?

When I download a model from huggingface, am I using up their bandwidth or does runpod have some cache server that sits between my runpod and huggingface? I feel bad downloading from huggingface, bandwidth isn't free for them and all that.

I want to play around with this model: https://huggingface.co/anthracite-org/magnum-v1-72b/tree/main but it's 160GB.... I don't want to download all of that from hugging face just to play with it for a few hours, that feels like such a waste of their bandwidth

yeah. I don't think the model is too specific to my question though.

I want to use it with sillytavern, there seems to be a project that makes sillytavern work with serverless, but I think it's abandoned
