+## How to download, including from branches
+
+### From the command line
+
+I recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library:
+
+```shell
+pip3 install huggingface-hub
+```
+
+To download the `main` branch to a folder called `Kunokukulemonchini-7b`:
+
+```shell
+mkdir icefog72/Kunokukulemonchini-7b
+huggingface-cli download icefog72/Kunokukulemonchini-7b --local-dir Kunokukulemonchini-7b --local-dir-use-symlinks False
+```
+
+<details>
+  <summary>More advanced huggingface-cli download usage</summary>
+
+If you remove the `--local-dir-use-symlinks False` parameter, the files will instead be stored in the central Hugging Face cache directory (default location on Linux is: `~/.cache/huggingface`), and symlinks will be added to the specified `--local-dir`, pointing to their real location in the cache. This allows for interrupted downloads to be resumed, and allows you to quickly clone the repo to multiple places on disk without triggering a download again. The downside, and the reason why I don't list that as the default option, is that the files are then hidden away in a cache folder and it's harder to know where your disk space is being used, and to clear it up if/when you want to remove a download model.
+
+The cache location can be changed with the `HF_HOME` environment variable, and/or the `--cache-dir` parameter to `huggingface-cli`.
+
+For more documentation on downloading with `huggingface-cli`, please see: [HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/download#download-from-the-cli).
+
+To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install `hf_transfer`:
+
+```shell
+pip3 install hf_transfer
+```
+
+And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`:
+
+```shell
+mkdir FOLDERNAME
+HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download MODEL --local-dir FOLDERNAME --local-dir-use-symlinks False
+```
+
+Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running `set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1` before the download command.
