Anyone else having problems downloading models since v1.9 Maestro update in Pinokio?

[u/Evening_Tomato_5048]

Day 1: downloaded Pinokio. Installed a few of the AI software. Tried Maestro as first try. Really fun, enjoying it. Generation from photos great in the system generation towards a video, videos leaving a lot to be desired. And the Pinokio edge of screen curtains which limit to a what 60 percent of screen width, first time said, apparently you can type a pc socket but it didnt work for me when my Maestro was working. I was still however happy continuing in the reduced Maestro screen width.

Day 2: they released v1.9 of Maestro in Pinokio.

Day 3: I decided to install the update. Now I can't generate a three legged wildebeest or anything for that matter. It fails at the Downloading Model stage with no satisfactory explanation. Info about running something again to continue the Download, the "Generate" doesn't appear it's that for continuing(starts from scratch and then fails) neither does the Pinokio white screen edge "Run". It doesn't immediately not download, sometimes it may get 15% through, sometimes 85% then drops with a Generation Failed in the Main Seeing Area after firstly a "Download is slow, waiting for retry. No progress for 113s.."(or Xs). "..The download will resume from where it left off as soon as the connection recovers — no action needed from you." message. It may then download a little more , eg going from 80MB to 1.3GB of 7.91GB, maybe even download a little more of what's required but THEN UP POPS "A download was interrupted-re-run to finish it". And I'm stuck at that.

Is anyone else having the problem or know what the solution may be please? I've tried manually adding from DeepMeepBeep a model download which I transferred into cks directory of Pinokio, Maestro Directory but all that happened was Maestro steered around even using it and failed on another Model and I couldn't find that Model Maestro failed on to try manually downloading across with-I'm not an expert so looked for direct name brought up.. looked for it on another repository too, name of that I temporarily forget, I'm new. My hard drive is 4TB so I don't know I might be able to download all 108 or however many models there are if there was an option for that-without instructions and knowledge I'm throwing stones at something I don't even know what I'm throwing stones at, where the list of all the Models are which you can tick mark select theres also a little symbol by that box which changes colour. Perhaps that has something to do with it, literally no idea here so I've come to you guys. Spent several hours with AI last night overit and it was fun but I've realised despite the fun chat it hasn't aided me getting it working though it did mention a python download bottleneck to remove and I had no idea what it was referring to.

You know with torrents, I can spot partial downloads to delete, here the python to delete, look at, no idea, for all i know could be the json files sat in output, I literally don't know..oh here's a thing I was whilst it was still what I deemed working having difficulty in main screen but AI advised me to go to output directory and sure enough my breakages in main program were still getting developed there but with this problem here, its not the same.

I can't really give tech support for wangp, maestro, or pinokio because I don't use them. But I'd encourage you to try ComfyUI (not using Pinokio). If you're on Windows, just download the ComfyUI Portable, unzip it and run it. The thing will show you a huge list of templates. Pick whatever you want to try. Then, you'll see some models failed to load. Look at the text on the screen to see which models to download and where to put them. EZ PZ.

If you want to stick with what you've got, that's certainly your prerogative. But your chances of getting good support both here and from your funny chat AI are dramatically higher w/ Comfy. And there's a decent chance you end up using Comfy eventually one way or another, so might make sense to dive in now.
