Ubuntu Software super slow when downloading something

Ubuntu Software is super slow now for some reason.
I use the OS Ubuntu 20.04.3 Focal Fossa.
Please help if you can, This is stopping me from doing work.
Thanks.

I have been using it for more than an year now and there was no problem until now. When I click to install something, it straight goes to 14% then it falls back down to 0% after 3 seconds.

Before this problem, it could install a 300MB program in like 25 seconds. Also after it drops 0% it takes 4 or 5 seconds to go to 1% then 2% so on.

Here is the output of snap list

Edit

You can fix it by:

Restarting the Ubuntu Software centre.

Then restarting your PC.

That fixed my problem.
