`runpodctl send` crawling at <1MB speeds

Hi there! I'm a big fan of RunPod for training SDXL, and have spent a bunch of time (and money!) iterating on fine-tuning models on RunPod using on-demand secure cloud servers. However, I keep running into a blocker: unexpectedly slow speeds with runpodctl send. Sometimes it works well, with 40MB/s speeds; other times, it drops down to <1MB/s speeds for no apparent reason, and can take hours to download a single 6GB file.

I'll be honest: paying $4.69/hr for 3-4 hours to train a model is much less appealing when I know it might take me another hour of frustration afterwards just to download the results. Is there a faster / more reliable way to download the results of a training?
