I ran dropbox start -i under tsocks, i.e. a SOCKS proxy, and the dropbox client download succeeded. The client can also be configured to use a SOCKS proxy from the GUI, so syncing now works also. Setting a working http_proxy and running under root would have probably worked as well, but SOCKS was easier to set up now.
