Games and Update Downloads on the itch app are stopping and starting repeatedly every few seconds and it's making the downloads take forever

I'm trying to download a game and the download will start for like 2 seconds and then stop for 10 and then resume for 2 seconds etc. It's making larger file sizes take forever and some games and updates don't even download at all. Is there a fix anyone has found? I'd prefer not to have to re-install the itch app and lose the files of the games I have.

Update: In the app log there is an error happening about 5 times a minute that looks like this: "copy was stopped after
