I've got an older demo that worked fine recently, but is now "stuck" on downloading. When I attempt to create a session, the downloadprogrss event fires once, and only once, and then nothing else happens. 

In console, I saw a warning about missing expected languages so I added both expectedInputs and outputs, which removed the warning but doesn't correct the issue.

On a new machine, it works perfectly, but the availability initial check was 'available'. So my guess is something went wrong when downloading. Without creating a whole new profile, is there a way to reset stuff?

You can go into chrome://on-device-internals and reset in there.  I hope it works.

I took a look at your link, and it seemed to work for me!

Just a heads-up: @joseph brewerton mentioned checking chrome://on-device-internals. Also, keep an eye on the free disk space.

I ran into something similar a few days ago. When the disk is below 20GB, Chrome will delete models, but it doesn’t give you a heads-up beforehand.

To be sure, would it be the Broker State tab, Uninstall Models button?
