I have tried many of the ftp sites enumerated in sysinstall, with both

Is there something off about the sysinstall ftp dialog? I don't see a way to
monitor what is happening.
Your firewall may be interfering with the connection. You may want to
read the handbook section on FTP installs (the grey box at the bottom
of the page):

Well, our router has never interfered with ftp transfers done from the
command line, but switching to the firewall-friendly mode in sysinstall
does fix the problem.
Thank you
