I tried doing that before and this is the error I get. I'll try the new .conf and see if thats it but I bet its the repo isn't it.
Edit: I added the yum .conf's and this is the error I get now.

Reason: quick edit
It gives me this error anytime I try to use my YUM for anything... I have no idea what I did wrong, I edited all the files that the Sticky said to. I hope YDL isn't always this troublesome for me :P
You just saying that fixed it thanks. I looked at it and it didn't quite say what I wanted it to.Thanks. Hmm, i sense another problem on it's way I can't find unrar, also, I can't find yumex. I have all the repo files updated.. I just get no matches found and when I list.. well they definitely aren't on the list either. I'm learning though... and I hope thats what this is all about.
Hey, I still don't have unrar but I've got the YUM mostly correct now. Now my only prohblem is that i can't get [extras] to finish it's search or whatever, it always stops at 3/4 which is [freshrpms] and then takes forever to display this error. again..
