Thanx! D/l 2.1.4 rpm, and now it seems to be functioning correctly :)

See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109502

Short order is ..
There is (1) a registration issue i.e. you shouldn't have to register
and
(2) HTTP redirects fail and since the Fedora "default" download site
issues a redirect, it looks happy even though it isn't.
The folks at RedHat are working diligently on it and should have it
fixed soon.
