The image you downloaded is a very small image and totally unsuitable
for direct application, in gimp, go to Image->Image properties and you
see it does not match the required specification

Now that image is also 24 bit, so by and large, you are going to have
to either create your background from scratch or rescale, Image->Scale
Image (set dpi to 300, ok, then set dimensions to what is required,
ok)

But that may not be satisfactory

Starting from scratch, (ie, make your own background) you set your new
image to 300dpi by;

File->new and set size
Then select "Advanced" and set dpi
