Created attachment 175013 [details] yolov3-wider_16000.weights On installing Digikam it fails to download some of the face recognition files but downloads others. Failing files are: yolov3-wider_16000.weights yolov5x_batch_16_s320.onnx resnet50.onnx Manually downloading the files and placing them in config/.local/share/digikam/facesengine works. In fact I downloaded them from ukfast.co.uk which is weird since that is where the error is. Maybe just a broken path looking in https://mirrors.ukfast.co.uk/sites/kde.org/files/digikam/facesengine/ instead of https://mirrors.ukfast.co.uk/sites/kde.org/files/digikam/autotags/ may just affect mirrors or certain cdn's I don't know.

Unfortunately, we have no influence on the mirror servers. If there are any problems, we have to report the server in question to the KDE admins. We once used alternative, well-known, good servers as a fallback solution, but this was not viewed favorably by the KDE admins. Maik
I erased all my local models files and restarted digiKam. Here from France, all files are downloaded properly. Gilles Caulier
Just because the cdn in france works it does not mean the issue is resolved ... If you used the uk mirror from ukfast and it worked then it would be resolved.

Hi Ben, sorry for linking you here. Can we blacklist "https://mirrors.ukfast.co.uk/sites/kde.org/files/" or is there no alternative in UK. I tested it here from Germany via browser, the server is really very slow with timeout. Maik
I have performed a test of the mirror in question and it both appears to be responsive and delivering decent speeds for the download from my location (half way around the world from the mirror in NZ). I would therefore expect clients based in the UK / Europe to have significantly better speeds than me. yolov3-wider_16000.weights 100%[=====>] 234.89M 5.28MB/s in 55s 2024-10-22 23:06:35 (4.26 MB/s) - ‘yolov3-wider_16000.weights’ saved [246305388/246305388] PING 46.37.189.155 (46.37.189.155) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 46.37.189.155: icmp_seq=1 ttl=45 time=353 ms 64 bytes from 46.37.189.155: icmp_seq=2 ttl=45 time=379 ms I was using IPv4 though - please check with IPv6 as many ISPs often have very poor / low quality implementations of IPv6 which can manifest themselves like this.
The server is very dependent on the time of day, at least from Germany. Tested today at around 11:00 UTC, the speed was OK. Now at 19:00 UTC, it was already under 100KB/s in some places. @simonmcnair@gmail.com: So you will have to try at different times. The download does not have to be repeated for each new digiKam version. However, the upcoming digiKam-8.5.0 version will use improved face detection/recognition models, which will require another download. Maik
In terms of the available mirrors, i'm afraid this is the only mirror located in the UK. See https://files.kde.org/?mirrorstats for details on the available mirrors.
