Slow Download Speed

Whenever I update models through the extension, the process takes a lot longer than just downloading it manually.

Let's take the ToonYou model at 2 GB for example. With the extension, the download took about 2 to 3 minutes, while I am able to download the model using a conventional download manager in just about 30 seconds.

For reference, my internet connection is 750 Mbit/s, which makes the ideal download time ~ 21.3 seconds. Of course, you will never achieve that, but if you calculate the download speed with the extension assuming the lower number of 2 minutes that suggests that it's downloading at ~ 133.3 Mbit/s, making it ~ 5.6 times slower than it should be.

I am not quite sure what could be causing this, I'd assume improper multithreading.

I totally feel you on this issue. I've been experiencing similar problems with the extension's download speeds. My internet is supposed to be around 100 Mbps, but when I try to download models through the extension, I'm stuck with speeds around 250 kb/s. It's frustrating, especially when I can download the same stuff manually way faster.
