        URL url = new URL(urlStr);
        ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(url.openStream());
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
        fos.getChannel().transferFrom(rbc, 0, Long.MAX_VALUE);
        fos.close();
        rbc.close();
    }

The url returns 301, so my guess it that openStream doesn't support redirections.

Oh, the site doesn't support HTTPS at all, so it won't work. Time to learn HttpClient. Good luck!
