It would appear you have downloaded an HTML file instead of the plain
text freshrpms.repo file. It would appear that you have a broken URL:

$ curl http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/5/freshrpms.repo
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL /pub/fedora/linux/5/freshrpms.repo was not found on
this server.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.2.2 (Unix) Server at ftp.freshrpms.net Port
80</address>
</body></html>
