Ah, so that was the issue. Yeah, we ran into this issue as well. Using git
probably makes the most sense, or make use of your distro's mirror
functionality (I believe arch offers this as well, not sure though).
The tags do actually match with the releases and the tarball names, they
are just single integers. I.e. the link we had was "http://download.gna.org/
a2jmidid/a2jmidid-8.tar.bz2", which matches git tag 8.
For a list, see http://repo.or.cz/a2jmidid.git/refs, but you probably
already checked that.
