Slow download speed
Complete RunPod newbie here. I'm using
Flux.1-Dev-ComfyUI by Camenduru template. However, its download speed is very slow, even the pod shows connection speed is 14836 Mbps. Are there something I missing? Is this normal? It takes nearly 10 mins to complete downloading. (I know Flux.1 Dev is 32GB and it's being hosted on HuggingFace.)Solution
Okay, here's what I found.
I guess Docker
After first download to network volume, I don't have to download 32GB model again.
You can't use network volume for model with template
I guess Docker
RUN command runs slower(~8x) than just directly using aria2c. So I created network volume, deployed empty(without model) ComfyUI image based on ghcr.io/ai-dock/comfyui:latest, mount network volume to /workspace/storage/stable_diffusion/models, and manually downloaded models there.After first download to network volume, I don't have to download 32GB model again.
You can't use network volume for model with template
camenduru/flux-runpod, since Docker RUN forces download anyway.
