The file it downloaded does not match the checksum that is expected
for that file meaning either the download is corrupt (which the
message for renaming the file will fix), your winetricks is old, or
winetricks needs to be updated becuause microsoft changed their
download.

I wouuld first try renaming the file your output says to rename and
then try winetricks again.
