Comment (by hakre):

 Thank you for taking the time to report the issue.

 As sivel wrote, URLs containing spaces are considered invalid. That's by
 the standards, so not a wordpress issue.

 However as you wrote you might still have a related problem.

 To further test, please replace the spaces inside the URL with %20 (that's
 the proper way how to write a space inside a URL) and try to fetch that
 file.

 If this does not work, you need to find out which error it is returning
 and you need to find out which transport you're using. To reduce noise,
 you can install a plugin like
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/11499/11499-curlforce.php
 11499-curlforce.php] that will enforce the use of curl for debugging
 purposes, so the curl based transport will be always used.
