A Python wrapper script around huggingface-cli and hf_transfer that enables high-speed downloads of HuggingFace models and datasets, with built-in support for the hf-mirror.com mirror site for users in China. It adds convenience flags like include/exclude file filters, save directories, and access token handling for gated models.

Use cases

• download huggingface models fast in china
• download models from hf-mirror.com
• download only specific files from a huggingface repo
• download gated huggingface models with a token
• download huggingface datasets via command line
• speed up huggingface downloads with hf_transfer

When to choose

• you are in a region where huggingface.co is slow or blocked and want mirror-based downloads
• you want a simple one-command wrapper for huggingface-cli with sensible defaults
• you need to filter which files are downloaded from a model or dataset repo

When to avoid

• you need advanced huggingface_hub CLI features beyond this simple wrapper
• you are outside China and can download from huggingface.co directly at full speed
• you need a maintained library API rather than a single script with no license
