No, there isn't, but 404 does not define whether the situation is temporary or permanent. It is suitable for use in timeout situations.

"No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address."

Umm, FProxy/Fred has DoS issues? Perhaps they should be fixed so that such novelty (and more user friendly) features as backgrounding transfers would not break them?
