I recently did a fresh, default install of Fedora 17, following a tutorial on http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-fedora-17. The bare-bones install went fine. On page 3 you start adding software repositories. I ran this in terminal as instructed:transfer failed
To which I received this response, which looks like it failed:
I then downloaded the repo from rpmfusion's site, which I am unsure if it was successful.
Q: The modal window disappeared and neither an error message, nor a success message was received. How can I know if the install was successful, or just silent-failed?
I then attempted to install the nonfree repo in the same way, but after I clicked yes to install, I got this error:
Q: What does this error mean? How can I resolve it?
I've found hints that yum breaks sometimes after installing rpmfusion, but didn't find solutions. Anyway, I tried installing Adobe repo next, per the article:
Result:
I researched the issue and found "Fedora 12 RPM Fusion breaks Yum and PackageKit!", from 2009 where forum user Gödel states:
I did as instructed and removed the files.
So, that's where I'm at. Overall then, my root question is:
Q: Why is my Adobe and rpmfusion repo installs failing??? What do I need to do to successfully install these and subsequent repos???
Any help is appreciated. Thank you all and cheers.

You should delete those rpmfusion files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and install them like this Code:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm' |
