How to download XML file from server and save it in SD card?

Question

In my application i'm trying to download XML file from server and storing it in SD card.For this i'm using following code..

        try {
               File root = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();               

               File dir = new File (root.getAbsolutePath() + "/project");
               if(dir.exists()==false) {
                    dir.mkdirs();
               }

               URL url = new URL("url"); //you can write here any link
               File file = new File(dir, name);

               long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
               Log.d("DownloadManager", "download begining");
               Log.d("DownloadManager", "download url:" + url);
               Log.d("DownloadManager", "downloaded file name:" + name);

               /* Open a connection to that URL. */
               URLConnection ucon = url.openConnection();

               /*
                * Define InputStreams to read from the URLConnection.
                */
               InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
               BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);

               /*
                * Read bytes to the Buffer until there is nothing more to read(-1).
                */
               ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(5000);
               int current = 0;
               while ((current = bis.read()) != -1) {
                  baf.append((byte) current);
               }



               /* Convert the Bytes read to a String. */
               FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
               fos.write(baf.toByteArray());
               fos.flush();
               fos.close();
               Log.d("DownloadManager", "download ready in" + ((System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime) / 1000) + " sec");

       } catch (IOException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }

this is giving me java.net.SocketException: The operation timed out exception...Please help me..I'm new to android development
