Seems people here on HN were lucky. Signed up ~20 minutes ago and no download link, so surely they're doing some checking, it's not fully automated, unlike what others say here.

On Huggingface, the following disclaimer has been put in place:

So seems it's a manual flow on their side to "accept" downloads.
