Currently the function system_retrieve_file generates a variety of Drupal error messages that cannot be suppressed or otherwise modified. This function should probably be modified to return the error to the calling function, allowing that function to determine what happens on an error instead of making an assumption on how errors should be handled.

With the way this is currently developed, it makes using this function for batch imports or other automated systems difficult without clearing all Drupal messages after executing the function. Furthermore, there is no easy way to programmatically determine why this function fails (ie, 404, 403).
