It's a problem on their end. The same thing happens when I access the 
link in Epiphany, Konqueror and Opera.

What page is this link on?

Is is this an image that's embedded in the page itself or is it just a 
text link to an image? 

It's either a misconfigured server or it's somehow deliberate on their 
(Bllogspot's) part. Are there other image links on the page that work as 
you would expect?
