Dear Hughingface Team,
I’m using runpod with the templates “ComfyUI - AI-Dock”.
In JupyterLab I want to download a login protected model, the one from black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Krea-dev.
wget used to work like that, I can download the model from my browser after login on my local pc.
`wget --header=“Authorization: Bearer TOKEN” ``https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev/blob/main/flux1-dev.safetensors`
But I get
```auto
401 Unauthorized
Username/Password Authentication Failed.
```
If I add –debug at the end. I get:
```auto
DEBUG output created by Wget 1.21.2 on linux-gnu.
Reading HSTS entries from /home/user/.wget-hsts
URI encoding = ‘UTF-8’

How about `resolve` instead of `blob` for now?
`wget --header="Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" "https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev/resolve/main/flux1-dev.safetensors"`

resolve is solving the problem!
Thank you so much for your help.
Why I get blob instead of resolve in the url?

`blob` is for web UI file-viewer URL. `resolve` is for file itself. Probably got mixed in from copy-pasting.

In this context, is curl better than wget?

Yeah. Well, I think most people use `curl`. The HF sample also uses `curl`. Even in that case, though, you should probably use URLs with `resolve` in the default behavior.
