How about just making it very clear in the dialog that the error message
came from the server. Something like this:
Error Downloading File
The <b>server</b> reported the following error code: <i>some error</i>
If not, it wouldn't be too hard to add custom error messages for the
more common http error status codes. Looking at the code, the latter
option might actually be easier to implement.
