Right now, if a model download fails because it's gated or private, Swarm just says "got response code 401 Unauthorized"
This change makes the error actually explain itself (Hugging Face, for example, says "Access to this model is restricted, you must have access to it and be authenticated"), names which site refused the download, and tells you whether Swarm even had an API key to send. If you don't have a key set for that site, it tells you to add one in User Settings; if you do have one, it tells you the key may be wrong or your account may not have been granted access yet.
Only auth failures change, every other download error is exactly the same as before.
