Description

Executing the download command twice will redownload a model:

```bash
litgpt download --repo_id microsoft/phi-2
```

```bash
litgpt download --repo_id microsoft/phi-2
```

We could check for existing model files and not download in this case. Then, we could add a `--force` option to redownload the model files in case where files were corrupted (basically as a shorthand for `rm -rf checkpoints/...` & `litgpt download`)
