I have had Arch for around 6 months and across various different installs.
One issue that seems to persist is that my download speeds are significanlty slower than they should be. (See the attached image)
Not really sure what to do about this issue, thanks in advance.

Welcome to the arch linux forums Jonnobrow.
What type of connection is being used, what NIC, what driver, what speeds are expected?
If there is a router have you checked if the issue is the link to the router or upstream of the router?

I am using Ethernet Connection
Network Interface Stuff:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15)
Subsystem: Dell RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
I/O ports at d000 [size=256]
Memory at d5204000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Memory at d5200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel modules: r8169
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 59)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 139
Memory at d5100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi
I am not sure how to find the drivers
I would expect around 1 Gbps based on the speeds I get on my windows PC
If there is a router have you checked if the issue is the link to the router or upstream of the router?
Into a University network and also experience no issues with my other PC from the same port.

Interestingly there seems to be 970Mbps upstream.
Please rule out browser/HDD trackers/shit and try https://linhost.info/2013/10/download-test-files/ (notice that the wget output is MB/s, ie. Mbps/8)

This seems to actually yield a speed that I was expecting, any ideas how I could replicate this through applications?
Thanks.

The problem is possibly not the download speed, but some disk I/O, try whether sth. like
wget -O ~/bigfile.bin http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/speedtest/1000mb.bin
is slow as well ("-O ~/bigfile.bin" is the crucial bit, writing to your $HOME. You might try other locations incl. /tmp, but ensure to have enough RAM to hold the file)
