Fix ReadTimeoutError

in HuggingFace Hub

Solution

ReadTimeoutError in huggingface-hub usually arises from network instability or server-side delays when downloading or accessing large files/repositories. To fix this, configure the `HF_HUB_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT` environment variable with a higher value (in seconds) to allow more time for the download to complete. Alternatively, if using code directly, increase the `timeout` parameter within relevant functions like `hf_hub_download` to an appropriate value for your network conditions.
