Slow model download speeds/bandwidth
Can anyone explain to me why the download speed is so bad from huggingface on Runpod? I consistently get 10-30 MB/s download speeds compared to 100+ MB/s on Vast.ai. I have often had to have instances running for 1-5 hours just to download LLama 3 70b or LLaVa 34b. Quite frankly, this issue is so bad that it has pushed me to vast.ai for most model training. The only issue I have seen with vast, is I can't select 5 GPUs instead of 4 or 8 which is the required amount for our use-case. Running batch production deployments is also a pain because of the download speeds. Your platform is really suffering because of this problem.
