Without knowing a bit more about your context it's a bit hard to provide a better solution, however rather than writing a custom web browser that allows users to browse your site, and download things why not do something along the lines of:

In your windows application, call a service on your website that gives you the relevant details of downloads available.

Display those details directly in your application, giving the user the option to download them as needed, you can use the standard windows Save File dialogs for this.

Then open an HttpWebRequest to your server from your application to download the file and save it to the users preferred location - you'll want to do this asynchronously so that you don't lock up the application's UI and you'll probably need to display a progress bar to the user as well.

However, if a user wants to they will still be able to find out the details of the server using an application such as Fiddler if they were that way inclined.
