I thought the canonical URL for downloads from sourceforge.net has been

   http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/PROJECT/NAME-VERSION.tar.gz?

for years? In this case, the following appears to work for me well

   http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/usb-midi-fw/midisport-firmware-1.2.tar.gz

(if the download handles HTTP redirects, of course).
