Description Need Real Name 2012-05-20 08:38:24 UTC 
Installation of F16, F17beta, etc DVD randomly fails.
The problem is in repository.
anaconda tries to access repository at https://.... URL
The problem is than not all mirrors work at https://...

A workaround is to edit repository list 
and replace https:// by http:// 
then installation goes OK. 

Just make sure that all mirrors support https://
or, another option, replace https:// by http://

As it stays now - installation randomly fails 
depending on what repository mirror is used.

Logs attached, but they are irrelevant. 
As I stated before - if a mirror does not support 
https:// installation would fail
and not try a different mirror

And may be original site was down.
It periodically fails.

So the mirror does support it, but occasionally has too many connections or some other reason for rejecting.  We can't do much about that.
