one thing you can try is to set a specific number of reps and then do as many sets as it takes to get them all.
start with maybe 10 reps and when you can get them in 3 sets or less, increase it to 15 and when you can get 3 sets of 5 start adding weight every other session for sets of 5 and using higher rep sets the other sessions.
i'd eventually alternate with chins too because they work on arm strength more than pullups imo.

personally i did pulldowns for years and saw little in the way of back or arm development but since ditching them and doing chins and pullups instead the changes have been quite surprising so dont get discouraged, they're worth the effort!
