The log at /var/log/dnf.log has a "CRITICAL ERROR" message--something
about having conflicting commands and not being able to install the
"best" version. They suggest passing the --skip-broken switch.
First, post the exact "errors".
Questions:
1. How do I remove the present downloads so I can start over?
dnf system-upgrade clean
2. Should I pass the --best flag, when running dnf system-upgrade
download, or skip that?
3. Should I pass --allowerasing?
4. Should I pass --skip-broken?
And especially should I pass --allowerasing and --skip-broken both at once?
The last 3 questions are irrelevant until the error is understood.
I believe the relevant passage in dnf.log is as follows:

Before that, I see the following somewhat unusual entries:

The repostory "bunkus-org.repo" has one package in it, called
mkvtoolnix, that I updated just before running dnf system-upgrade download.
I have not seen fedora-updates-modular.repo before.
Every other repository seems to have good information.
