With standard yum the download size would have been 42M (as reported above), with yum-presto you can see the actual download is a third of that, in particular note the kernel download is 2.6M rather than the usual 17M

Thank you I copied and pasted that and something must have been wrong with one of the url's. It is now working. Thanks to everyone who also helped.

I am sorry to double post but I have hit another snag. I think I may know the problem but wanted to ask before trying to fix it. I have the "priorities" plugin also installed for yum, does this interfere with presto and need to be removed? Mainly I am getting a url timeout for freshrpms and can not connect to it so it halts any updates.

I haven't used it so I can't say, but I don't think it should break because of Presto.
Also, you can tell yum to disable freshrpms for one run like this:
Code:
yum --disablerepo=freshrpms update

Well will I eventually need to figure out how to get FreshRPMs to work or is it possibly just a problem on their end?
And thank you for your help FWing.

No problem! What's the error you're receiving? Normally freshrpms doesn't have much downtime.

Are they working? [solved - no problem present]
I am trying to use presto for X86_64 - i haven't seen any updates since i activated it, but I am not seeing any error messages that seem relevant. The updates section of my fedora-updates.repo reads:
Quote:
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/

gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

and I see the following when I run yum update:

Yup, everything's fine! The Fedora 9 freeze was only a few days ago, so my guess is package maintainers were focused on getting bugfixes into F9 Beta.

I am still getting the same error with freshrpms, does anyone know how to fix this, I can't install, remove, or update through yum because once I get that error it haults the process.

Just use:
Code:
yum --disablerepo=freshrpms command
where command is update or install. This will temporairily disable freshrpms. If you'd like to remove it, remove the /etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo file.

Yeah I just removed the file and everything is working fine again. I am just worried, is the freshrpm repo necessary at all? Or am I fine without it?

Freshrpms, like livna and others, provides software not available from the official fedora repos for license reasons. So, if you haven't installed anything from it it is not necessary. If you require one of the pieces of software in it for whatever reason, then to allow the system to update it may be "necessary".
EDIT: Here's my /etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo file.
Code:
[freshrpms]
name=RPMForge: Freshrpms
#baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms/
mirrorlist=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/mirrors-freshrpms
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-freshrpms
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
As you may be able to tell from my file I usually leave freshrpms installed but disabled. I call it once in a while so I can update my dkms nvdia driver. I do that like this.
Code:
yum --enablerepo=freshrpms update nvidia-x11-drv.x86_64 nvidia-x11-drv-32bit.x86_64
Oh, and freshrpms does seem to be down still.
