[Bug]: I tried to download controlnet extension but the installation stucks

Author: amadeusalertaCreated Jan 7, 2025Updated Dec 16, 2025

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits of both this extension and the webui

What happened?

I tried to install the Controlnet extension and download it from StableDiffusion's interface, but after downloading a file of about 25.7 mb, the Stable diffusion interface gets stuck. When I try to download it manually and then open Stable diffusion, this time the terminal freezes after the commit hash. How can i solve this error ?

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Go to StableDiffusion/Extensions, search for controlnet extension
  2. Press install
  3. it stucks

What should have happened?

the download should have completed correctly. I have not had any problems downloading other extensions (pixelart for example), I am only experiencing it on controlnet.

Commit where the problem happens

There are no warnings or information in the Terminal.

What browsers do you use to access the UI ?
