[FEATURE] Add ability to add a model that was already downloaded outside the app
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If a model has already been downloaded by user, they should be able to point to the model instead of re-downloading the same model to cache.

This and manual download would be very useful as the existing download fails all the time - gives no hint of what's wrong - the debug output shows many unhelpful:
The thread '.NET TP Worker' (21660) has exited with code 0 (0x0). Exception thrown: 'System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException' in System.Private.CoreLib.dll
I've tried to install https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/Lightweight-Face-Detection/resolve/main/Lightweight-Face-Detection.onnx dozens of times and downloads always fail.
A simple PowerShell script or manual instructions / how to use already downloaded would go a LONG way towards being able to run this app. A few things DO download - but so many don't it's not worth the effort.
