Sorry if I got you excited.
I just want to say right now that I am going to do my part for the happiness of this great community. Since I have no bandwidth limits I plan to offer the demos on my servers just as soon as I can get them. Dom3Minions.com and Dom2Minions.com will have the windows, mac, linux versions of the Dom3 demo.
When I push the demo (and I will) in the usenet groups, I will link to my servers for as long as I can stand it.

Thanks for it Gandalf. 
How come that you don't have bandwidth limits btw? I am limited at 24 Mbit, but this is a DSL connection.
Anyways this 24 Mbit is enough for everything to be honest. My top downloading speed was around 3.4 Mbyte/second from a local server.

Re: Demo Sites
Well lets say that Ive never hit it. And I have no extra charges for hitting a bandwidth ceiling like many people do.
Its a fat DSL (Im not allowed to give specs). But Im so close to the pop that I could go to a T1 if I wanted to.
I run 2 servers. They have about a dozen domains, many Dom games, a MUD world, and about 100 users. Of course also their email, personal web pages, ftp, irc, etc. The main server is Debian Linux. The secondary is older debian but we are considering switching it to SuSe.

Re: Demo Sites
Ah I see. It's very nice that you host so many different stuff. 
Btw I never thought that MUDs are still popular. I've never tried to play one myself, but afaik the first MUDs were created a long time ago.
Hm...however this is true about the roguelike games also, and there are lot of roguelike fans still.

Re: Demo Sites
Yeah its the same thing. Basically its IRC in a game world. Open text based, fast moving, easy to socialize, and easy to modify so it doesnt get old.

Re: Demo Sites
And the MUDs are still popular amongst people who prefer the imagination of books, vice pablum like TV. Not that some people would understand books vice graphics

The same is true about Dwarf Fortress for example. Since it is using ASCII gfx, the game world is up to your imagination that how is it looking like. Combine imaginations with incredible good gameplay, and it can be endless fun. That is Dwarf Fortress!
