T1 maxes out at 150 kilobytes per second, so 766KBytes/s is actually... pretty good. Or maybye you have something else. Not to mention, the point of fiber is often distance and noise-immunity rather than bandwidth. So you still haven't really given much info on what your connection's rated for, sadly.
I'm guessing compression wouldn't help much unless the file is very repetetive, or the transmitting system very fast CPU-wise. However I have found compression useful under some situations(generally in combination with the
udpcast multicast tool, with which I've been able to achieve 99% of rated speed on a TCP/IP link -- at the expense of all other traffic on the link however
).
lzop in particular is designed to be realtime compression.
this thread on google groups shows a few tips. Window size is apparently important.

simpleftp
SIMPLEFTP(1) General Commands Manual SIMPLEFTP(1)
NAME
simpleftp - rudimentary ftp client
SYNOPSIS
simpleftp ftp://... [ ... ]
DESCRIPTION
simpleftp is a perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion. It takes one or more ftp
URLS on the command line. The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same basename
as on the remote; i.e., ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz is stored as active.gz in the current directory.
BUGS
simpleftp is an extremely poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities. It was written
only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/ without requir-
ing administrators to install yet another package. Its shortcomings as a general purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that
stands out is that simpleftp does not understand the complete syntax of URLs, only the hostname and pathname parts -- it will not under-
stand username, password, port or parameter strings.
