Force Image Download

How can I force an image download with IE using ASP.net??
Here is the catch: the image I want to force a write with
is located on another web server. I can only reference the
image with a URL.

If the image is on my machine, I use the
response.wrifefile method. After setting up my headers I
can force an image download. However, I can't get this to
work if I reference the image via a url.

Example: strPath = "http://www.site.com/image.jpg"

response.writefile(strpath) generates an error.

Is there another method that can write an image to the
browser using a URL reference?
