Hello Jay Phelps,
can you please try to start "rhsetup" instead of loader? rhsetup uses the
"wget" tool to download from an ftp-server and might give better/other
results.
You can give additional options to wget via VERBOSEWGET ('-q' is the default
and stands for quiet):
export VERBOSEWGET="-q"

Sounds good.

Feedback on this also appreciated, so we can document short-term
workarounds for our 64bit release.
My first email had the man-page from wget appended, but didn't make it
through to the listserv software (too long).
good luck,
