ComfyUI Open-Sources HF SuperDownloader for Fast Model Downloads
dcmomia · reddit · 2026-07-31
A developer released a custom node called ComfyUI HF SuperDownloader, designed to improve the model downloading experience for ComfyUI users.
Key Features:
- Fast Downloads: Uses HuggingFace's Rust-based hftransfer backend to saturate network bandwidth.
- Search by Filename: Automatically locates the HF repo by simply typing or pasting the model filename, without needing full URLs.
- Canvas Overlay: Adds a draggable and resizable floating button to the ComfyUI canvas; clicking it opens a modal with live terminal-style download progress and speed.
- Folder Manager: Configure and manage target folders (loras, checkpoints, VAEs) directly within the interface.
