Not all welding rods are designed to run down hill...

Cross country mainlines, station work, distribution systems and gathering systems are all welded downhill in the U.S.

As with many welding techniques, practice is the key. Try adjusting rod angle, travel speed, voltage/arc force etc.
Though the direction of travel is frowned upon by many it sure is used a great deal in some industries. It is even allowed by D1.1 but has controls that must be followed.
