Easiest tool (65kb binary) to download Kimi K3 fast (while we can)

Hacker News

I built this tool (kimi-fetch) to download the full 1.5TB moonshotai/Kimi-K3 from Hugging Face, one file at a time, and survive being stopped and restarted for any reason (Ctrl-C, kill -9, power loss). If anything happens you can run it again and it resumes midfile until all 100 plus files are complete and verified with a sha256 hash. The tool itself is a 68kb standalone binary that runs on mac and linux (wsl if you are on windows). And when you run it ./kimi-fetch it will immediately start downloading k3 from hungingface with max restart-ability. And will verify everything it downloads. I'll likely add a feature in a future release to have it automatically create 3 copies after for triple modular redundancy via a flag, but users can do that themselves for now. I created this because I couldn't find a focused tool just for this type of thing, and I want to get this done with then next 24 hrs, because there is no telling what the government might do. Its easy to install via a single curl command. And you simply have ot run ./kimi-fetch and it createa Kimi-K3 folder and gets going. Would love feedback.
