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 🙂

Hmm… This may help.

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](https://huggingface.co/HyperX-Sentience/MJ-LoRA-Midjourney-SD-Mix)
and then it is not tracked for this :
[HyperX-Sentience/Starlight · Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/HyperX-Sentience/Starlight)
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?
