I just had a look how Gentoo fetches the source tarballs for other tools from
sourceforge and seems best would be:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mira/files/mira/4.0.2/...
Do not know why the package name appears twice in the URLs but is same for all
packages I looked at.
Currently, Gentoo uses:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mira-assembler/files/MIRA/stable/"${PN}"-"${MY_PV}".tar.bz2
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mira-assembler/files/MIRA/development/${P}.tar.bz2
