I've been getting this a lot for random different repos. I usually wait a few minutes and run "dnf makecache" again, and it works fine.
That fixed one. Now I got another one:
Maybe they are just busy with FC31 coming out
# dnf makecache ... Metadata cache created.
# dnf --enablerepo=* update ... Failed to download metadata for repo 'rpmfusion-free-source'
FWIW, I find --enablerepo=* unnecessarily broad. Have you actually installed any "source" rpms or "debuginfo" packages?
Additionally, one must understand that updating everything from "testing" comes with a degree of risk. In some cases the reason for a package being in "testing" is to fix issues which have been report/discovered. Sometimes, yes rarely, the test package may not fix the issue but break something else.
On systems I care about I only update from "testing" selectively.
