sometimes I can't download files on Chrome, and even I've updated to the latest version, unless "Exit" Chrome and open it again
it's bothering me, but I can't find anyone who has this problem like me :(
Pretty weird right?

Are you using any browser extensions which may be affecting the normal behavior of Chrome?
Does Chrome have permission to access the destination folder? You may need to give Chrome "Full Disk Access" if you denied Chrome from accessing the Downloads folder previously.
Where are you trying to store the download? Do you have permission to write files to that location?
Try opening a Private Chrome window and trying again. Sometimes something will work in a private mode session as opposed to the normal mode.
Are you running any anti-virus apps, cleaning apps, or third party security software which may be interfering with the normal operation of macOS?
It may be an issue with the website itself.

Does it occur if you use Safari?
I understand the problem is intermittent, which makes troubleshooting difficult, but if you conclusively isolate the problem to Google Chrome then you might be better off asking in a Google Chrome support forum.
