I've never had *that* problem myself. I ftp'ed the X11R6 distribution
over my ppp link (all 8 megs of it) and it seemed to work okay. It
certainly couldn't hurt to try and use ncftp.

ncftp can be obtained from ftp.cs.unl.edu in /pub/ncftp
ncurses can be obtained from ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu in /pub/gnu

Both programs configure and make "out of the box". Compile and install
ncurses first so that ncftp will notice them and take advantage of
them.
