I have published multiple Loras but some of them show the number of downloads and some of them don’t. The problem is partially fixed by making a config.json file but whenever someone downloads only the safetensors file then the download will not be tracked i guess. And why does it only happen to some models ? Help is appreciated :slight_smile:

Hmm… This may help. [image] HuggingFace model downloads are not counted 🤗Hub We have some documentation to help you understand how we count models at Models Download Stats, there is also a link to add support for a library if we don’t support it yet.

I have seen that post but what I don’t understand is why are downloads being tracked for some models. Like here is an example of my own lora : HyperX-Sentience/MJ-LoRA-Midjourney-SD-Mix · Hugging Face and then it is not tracked for this : HyperX-Sentience/Starlight · Hugging Face Moreover, adding a config file only helps when the user downloads the full repo. What if the user just downloads the safetensors file just from the website ? That would surely not count : (

This is a mystery… @pierric Bug of hub?
