Description

Brief description of your issue

Windows Package Manager v1.8.1911

winget upgrade Ollama.Ollama -i --source winget
Downloading https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/download/v0.3.12/OllamaSetup.exe
██████████████████████▎ 493 MB / 663 MB forever!!!!!!

Tried many times and stucks after 300Mb, 610Mb and then at 230Mb and randomly after hundreds of wasted Mb.
Winget seems freezed and no-way, no option to resume the stopped download.
Waste of time above all and money, for a no flat data traffic.

Steps to reproduce

winget upgrade Ollama.Ollama -i --source winget
