ok here's what I got so far now my question is how can I buffer the streams?

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class URLConnectionReader {
	
	
	private static String urlString = 

"http://cache.orion.sina.com.cn/client_d/200610c2/upload/c0/ba/20061101

223035140619152368.mp3";
	private static String fileName = "C:/Documents and 

Settings/Compaq_Owner/Desktop/fatmacking.mp3";
	
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		
		InputStream in = null;
        FileOutputStream out = null;
        
        try{
        	URL download = new URL(urlString);
        	URLConnection dl = download.openConnection();
	
        	in = dl.getInputStream();
       
        	out = new BufferedOutputStream(new 

FileOutputStream(fileName));
        	
        	int c;
            while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                out.write(c);
            }
		} finally {
            if (in != null) {
                in.close();
            }
            if (out != null) {
                out.close();
            }
		}
	}
}
