How to save an image from an web page?

Question

Hello everybody!
I have a problem and I hope someone can help me :).
I am trying to save/download an image from an web page to my computer. So given an URL which contains the image, I want to save this/write this image to disk. Here is my code:
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Test{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
        Test test = new Test();
        test.readFile();
    public void readFile() throws Exception{
        InputStream inputStream = new URL("http://www.google.se/images/hp1.gif").openStream();
        InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
        BufferedReader buffReader = new BufferedReader(reader);
        BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("savedImage.gif"));
        int x=0;
        while((x = buffReader.read()) != -1) {
            bw.write(x);
        bw.flush();
}The code saves the image to disk, but unfortunately the image is distorted. Can anyone help me to solve this problem.
Thanx in advance
Best regards

        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("savedImage.gif"));
        int x=0;
