I am trying to clone facebook/nllb-200-distilled-600M for integration into a docker container.
But currently the cloning fails with the message:
```auto

fatal: pytorch_model.bin: smudge filter lfs failed
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'
```
And the logfile similarly tells me:
```auto
git-lfs/3.3.0 (GitHub; linux amd64; go 1.19.3)
git version 2.34.1
$ git-lfs filter-process
Error downloading object: pytorch_model.bin (c266c2c): Smudge error: Error downloading pytorch_model.bin (c266c2cfd19758b6d09c1fc31ecdf1e485509035f6b51dfe84f1ada83eefcc42): [c266c2cfd19758b6d09c1fc31ecdf1e485509035f6b51dfe84f1ada83eefcc42] Object does not exist: [404] Object does not exist
```
Which is a weird error, as the file can be downloaded manually going through the website, and the SHA matches.
Any ideas on what could be wrong here? I get the same error for other facebook models, but can successfully clone other models.

I got the same issue for Facebook/Meta models only and I fixed it by putting my Huggingface login and password.
`git clone https://loggin:pwd@huggingface.co/nllb-200-distilled-600M`

Having the same issue on LLaMA 3 models.
