Looks a lot like a problem on your side sommewhere. Maybe a network/proxy problem. 

Try to download the rpms with wget (install if missing) and install them with rpm afterwards. E.g. something like this:

$ wget http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
$ rpm -ivh pmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Looking at the wget output might also help to find the root of the problem
