Terminal output from running 'winetricks ie6'

When installing ie6 in Winetricks, it tells you to "download msie60.exe from
http://www.oldversion.com/download-Internet-Explorer-6.0.html". This is a
third-party source, there is a first-party source (Microsoft) available, listed
on the AppDB: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=469
http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/6_sp1/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/ie6setup.exe

The third-party source is inaccessible in China due to censorship.
