I just ran into the same problem. I got around it like this:

I downloaded the file from: 
http://www.oldversion.com/download-Internet-Explorer-6.0.html (I had to 
manually download the file, it uses a post method to get the file and I just 
don't really know a way around that).

The file you download is msie60.exe. Now you need to change line 7350 in 
winetricks

from 
w_download http://browsers-us.mirrors.zensoft.net/ie/win32/6.0/ie60.exe 
8e483db28ff01a7cabd39147ab6c59753ea1f533

to
w_download http://127.0.01/msie60.exe 8e483db28ff01a7cabd39147ab6c59753ea1f533

Assuming you have an apache server running. Otherwise, you need to host the 
file elsewhere and change the line to reflect that location.

Or you could just use the updated winetricks in svn.

Issue 124 has been merged into this issue.

Or you can download the file from the website above, and then move the file to 
~/.cache/winetricks/ie6 and run winetricks ie6.

"""Or you can download the file from the website above, and then move the file 
to ~/.cache/winetricks/ie6 and run winetricks ie6."""  

Worked but but go to the "~/.cache/winetricks/ie6" directory and make sure to 
rename the msie60.exe to ie60.exe.  If that's not obvious. :)

Thanks for the notes guys.  I couldn't have done this without you.

Why did you need the workaround?  Isn't winetricks-20111115 working for you?

I had the same issue, it seems that zensoft mirror is missing the file. 
winetricks itself works fine, but the link for ie6 doesn't seem to work anymore.

You're using an old version of winetricks.  This bug was fixed in r690 on 
2001-08-20.

winetricks currently has the line 
    w_download http://download.oldapps.com/Internet_Explorer/ie60.exe 8e483db28ff01a7cabd39147ab6c59753ea1f533
which works.  Anyone with the old line has an old winetricks.

i used host file to redirect http://browsers-us.mirrors.zensoft.net to 127.0.0.1
then hosted the file under 127.0.0.1/ie/win32/6.0/ie60.exe with apache2

It would be easier to update to the latest winetricks, wouldn't it?

What does 'winetricks --version' say?
The current version says 20120308, and does not suffer from this problem.

Using 20120308 here with wineskin. Getting this;
