this isn't rly an issue that the game dev can fix, it's a challenge with the downloading rather than the game files, but you might find more help at https://itch.io/board/10023/questions-support. If you have a vpn, turn it off. the server for your region might be processing a lot of requests, so try to download during weird hours or it might be reliability issue that you'll have to wait a couple days to get fixed.
you can also try clicking this button, check the box that says 'enable alternate download mode'. if none of this helps, i had a lot of google hits for 'itchio failed network error'. also there's a web port now so you dont need to download! https://brianna-lei.itch.io/butterfly-soup-2-webandroid-ports

The web port still needs to download the game. It’s just that it doesn’t download it persistently. And well, it can postpone downloading some things, primarily music such that the initial download is only half the the games size (yes, half the game sizes is just music)
