https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/get_url_module.html#parameter-dest

You can set dest to the desired filename. Since you have dest set to a directory, the following applies:

If dest is a directory, either the server provided filename or, if none provided, the base name of the URL on the remote server will be used. If a directory, force has no effect.

Change it to a file path and you can control the name of the file.
