FileNotFoundException on Android version > 2.3

Question

I try to download a file to sdcard on my phone. On Android 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 everything works like intended, but on Android 4.0 (testen on emulator and my Galaxy Nexus) it throws a FileNotFoundException.

Stacktrace:

My method for downloading file:

downloadFile("http://www.wdr.de/wdrlive/media/wdr5.m3u");

    public void downloadFile(final String fileUrl) {
        new Thread(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {

                    URL url = new URL(fileUrl);

                    HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

                    urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
                    urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);

                    urlConnection.connect();

//                  File cacheDir = appContext.getExternalCacheDir();
//                  File file = new File("/mnt/sdcard", "/cacheFile.ext");
                    File SDCardRoot = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
                    File file = new File(SDCardRoot,"/cacheFile.ext");

                    if(!file.exists()) file.createNewFile();

                    FileOutputStream fileOutput = new FileOutputStream(file);

                    InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();

                    int totalSize = urlConnection.getContentLength();
                    int downloadedSize = 0;

                    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                    int bufferLength = 0;

                    while ( (bufferLength = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0 ) {
                        fileOutput.write(buffer, 0, bufferLength);
                        downloadedSize += bufferLength;
                        Log.d(TAG, "downloadedSize = " + downloadedSize + " | totalSize = " + totalSize);
//                      updateProgress(downloadedSize, totalSize);

                    }
                    fileOutput.close();

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

        }).start();
    }

Simple remove urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
