it seems winetricks needs to update its download link ...
You can also use appdb for VC++ redist info:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5766
Navigate to desired version (2008 or 2008 SP1):
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5766
Click "Free download" on left side:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9b2da534-3e03-4391-...
This should give you the top level download page which is always up-to-date. Then use "Download" (usually it will automagically start).
Winetricks uses the direct/resolved download link which is sometimes changed by Microsoft.
