I get the same error.  
Also windows 11 running Topaz Video AI 6.

Logs say it’s an internal error:

I should add that I tried the recommended fixes of turning off the firewall, antivirus, ad blockers, and I even put the computer into DMZ. No change.

I was able to download the frame interpolation ones fine:

Hello, I have Topaz VideoAI 6.2.0 installed  
Windows 11 Pro 23H2  
I can’t download models for graphics cards, Stabilization → Full-Frame & Auto-Crop.

I get the message:  
Error: Connection handling canceled

I checked the connection to another network, nothing helps.

v6.2.0 has a known issue with pre-downloading the stabilization model using the model manager. Our team is aware of this issue and working to resolve it. If you need to pre-download it for offline use, I recommend rolling back to v6.1.3:

[Video AI | 6.1.3 | Windows](https://downloads.topazlabs.com/deploy/TopazVideoAI/6.1.3/TopazVideoAI-6.1.3.msi?_gl=1*sew300*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3Mzc3NTA5NDcuQ2p3S0NBaUFrYzI4QmhCMEVpd0FNMDAxVFdiakpGX2FsLUdiYWdVUExjQ0ZtbEpLMGFRUkpkSHhSX1BlUHNhRkxIa2tzNnV2OWgzalZ4b0NjbDBRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_gcl_au*OTg5OTAyOTEyLjE3Mzg3Njc5MTQuNTA1MTA2MTg5LjE3NDE2NDAxMjIuMTc0MTY0MDEyMQ..*_ga*ODcxNTAyMjEzLjE3MzA5MzI4Mzk.*_ga_M0K7E5583S*MTc0MTc4ODg0OS41MTcuMS4xNzQxNzkxMTQ2LjU1LjAuNzE5NzU3MDI0)

Otherwise, you should still be able to use the stabilization filter and let the app download it during the export process.

This still isn’t fixed in 7.0! Every release is half broken, it is getting pathetic. The model manager is junk in general all the way back to 5.5 when I started using the app, always fails, have to select each enhancement one by one, over and over again. It should be click and done, shouldn’t be a 20min ordeal.

I’m also getting the same “Error: Connection handling canceled” error downloading models on the 7.0.0 release. I was able to download some of the models one by one but cannot download the final two, “Stabilization → Full-Frame & Auto-Crop” or “Enhancement → Artemis - Aliasing or Moire” models.  
That might just be me, but hopefully sharing which specific files are causing issues may help the bug patching process.

If I don’t check these models, I can really download the others! Thanks 😄

After upgrading to Video AI version 7.0.0 I went to “Files / Model Manager” to download the model files. All model downloaded successfully except for “Stabilization”. When attempting to download the Stabilization model the system responds immediately with a popup window with the message “Error: Connection Handling Closed”.

The system is running 64-bit Windows 10 and has:  
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core processor,  
32.0 GB RAM  
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 GPU,

I’m having the same problem in 7.0.1. I have been able to successfully use stabilization, but can’t preload it via model manager even after having successfully using it.

Still happening in 7.0.2, but at least I see it attempt to download a bit before tapping out (stops on the 7th step with the same connection handling error)

This has been a known issue for months. TF is Topaz’s problem? I paid for this, and I expect it to work.

I have the same Problem with model manager downloading for stabilization in Version 7.0.2!  
The problem has existed so long for many versions, why is the problem not fixed?  
What’s the matter?
