Description

When I download a model and somehow the download gets interrupted, when I try to use it, llm does not give any error message and responds with newlines. Is there any way I can delete or reload a partially download model?

Research direction

Start by reproducing an interrupted model download through the llm command-line interface and inspect how the downloaded model is later loaded. Determine how partial downloads are detected and how users can delete or reload them; done means the failure produces a clear error and the partial model can be safely recovered or removed.
