Failed to get image via ImageIO.read (url) due to connection timeout

Question

The following code always fails:

    URL url = new URL("http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/126/8636005.jpg");
    Image img = ImageIO.read(url);
    System.out.println(img);

I checked the url and this is a valid jpg image. The error I am getting is:

Exception in stream "main" javax.imageio.IIOException: cannot get input stream from URL!
