error messages when running npx create-react-app

When trying to create a new react app using create-react-app generator I seem to run into a this downloading error. Not sure how to fix it. I've use npx create-react-app many time before but recently it has stopped working. Any suggestions?

Andrewcarey@Andrews-MacBook-Air Strangers_Things % npx create-react-app my-app
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:311
      throw err;
      ^

what I normally do is let say I want my project to be called "my-app" I create a folder "my-app" open it in my terminal and then type npx create-react-app ./ I'm not sure if this is the best solution but maybe give it a try and see if it works
