Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Edit the fine-grained token and enable read access to public gated repos you can access (or use a classic read token); then re-login and retry. For 401 GatedRepoError instead, request/await access approval on the model page.
Option: Enable gated-repo read on the fine-grained token [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: Fine-grained tokens
Steps:
1. huggingface.co/settings/tokens -> edit token
2. Check read access to contents of all public gated repos you can access
3. Save, then retry download
Expected: Download succeeds
