Here is what I have found. There may be or not a reason for it. Download speeds change. On PC at first I was getting no more then 1-2Mb/s. If you are DL a 4G file it takes quite awhile. Now I am getting 8Mb/s and sometimes more. The Upload is another story. All of this having internet speeds of 500Mb/s/500Mb/s. UL speed is less then 1Mb/s most always. The kicker to this. I use my cell which has 1/2 the speed as PC (ethernet on pc) I get up to 4-6Mb/s and can do 10G of files in less then an hour. PC for it is of course at least 10 times slower. This is on Windows 10 and on Chrome. Makes no sense. I am like 1 foot from my cell which is wi-fi about 200Mb/s/200Mb/s. I do understand why the upload is slow because of the processes and thousands of others using the site. I just have no idea why PC is much slower. I have updated, run security scans still really slow. Though IA is the best site there ever was. In this reality. Bravo...For those that are throttled to such speeds you need to increase internet speed or maybe its your provider. You will never get over 10Mb/s on UL and hope it does 1Mb/s or in the ballpark of what you need.

Archive up/down speed isn't consistent, and it's normal that connection speed will drop due to high traffic, are you downloading a file or uploading it?

If you're downloading, instead of getting (download) the file from the source page, download the torrent of that file. Since torrent is P2P, you'd get a much better download speed. If you're uploading a file and you're getting very low upload speed, chances are that you may need to refresh the page and reupload it again. I generally never faced issues with upload speed, so I'm assuming you mean the download speed.
