Hi,

`mirror://` is not a real URL schema; it's used by Guix as a substitute
for writing out the various mirror URLs of large projects like GNOME.
Here's the definition of Gnome's mirror URLs:

--- guix/download.scm
(define %mirrors
  ;; Mirror lists used when `mirror://' URLs are passed.
  (let* (…)
    `(…
      (gnome
       "https://download.gnome.org/"
       "http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/")
      …)))
---

So the correct URL would be one of these two; by the way, I think that
`mirror://` URL might be wrong, as the `tracker` directories only
contain `3.4`, not `3.4.2`:

  https://download.gnome.org/sources/tracker/3.4/tracker-3.4.2.tar.xz
  http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/tracker/3.4/tracker-3.4.2.tar.xz

Both of these work when passed to `guix download`.
