BLIP model not stored on "Add caption"

[Evil-Dragon]

Describe the bug The BLIP model is downloaded but not stored everytime "Add caption" is used in Text Inversion.

load checkpoint from https://storage.googleapis.com/sfr-vision-language-research/BLIP/models/model_base_caption_capfilt_large.pth

Downloading it manually and storing in \repositories\BLIP\models removes the error from happening.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Text Inversion tab
2. Click on 'add caption'
3. Run on images
4. See error

Expected behavior Model should be downloaded once and stored rather than re-downloading it everytime.

It's still trying to download it, even after I've added it to my webui\repositories\BLIP\models ----But I have my PC connected to internet, maybe if I went offline it would use the one stored there

UPD: yes, it only works normally if I put my PC offline, otherwise it's going to download this model regardless whether it's already inside webui\repositories\BLIP\models

I think I found a solution to this problem:

1. When the system starts downloading again, wait patiently for the file to be downloaded;
2. When exiting the system, don't clean up Huggingface's cache directory (or maybe phthon's cache directory). I found that if the cache directory is cleared, the download will start even if the file is already sitting in the BLIP directory。
