is there anyway to fix this weird blocky effect?

Install gentoo

What you are talking about is called banding, the only way of fixing it is to encode the video with a higher bitrate OR download a higher bitrate video.

Banding is literally the worst which is why you should only ever watch HQ P2P internals from respectable trackers.
