All other links in this thread link to an older version of the demo.

Here's the demo:

Please be a little careful with my bandwidth.  Hosting is on my Rock Band site thanks to Bluehost.

Thanks Chris! One more mirror:

it's up on rapidshare now too:

So I can 'push' this at some areas I frequent. What does the demo contain. Is it effectively chapter 1?

Tals

It's all of Chapter 1

Don't kill my server...

Another link (direct download though, woohoo!). Be nice though.

Get your hot Goo here!

For some reason your download link is finished nearly instantly, but the file is broken. Not sure what is going wrong.

Same thing for your download....

Don't get me confused, this may be a problem on my end, but I'm not sure what it is. Never experienced it.


It's now also up on my server (Direct link). Over 1 megabyte upload on a good day, 50 GB upload limit per week. Do your worst :)

Thanks guys! That should probably be enough. Yeah, the file should be about 32MB

Ah yes, it was incomplete. I just did the lazy thing and used his link to get my copy. I have now mirrored yours, so hopefully it is all fine (its much larger now too). For references sake the md5 of my copy is now: "8790bcbb08669034761193cfe27d6ec4"

The executable already has an integrity checker built-in, so the md5 is redundant, but yeah :P

*Tries his own server

Roughly 4 MB/s. (That's bytes, btw, not bits)
But it's cheating, since the server is on the same university network as my computer which I download it with.
I'm getting roughly 0.5 MB/s from your server, which is quite nice. How much do you get from mine?


Also, link posted on the 2 other fora I frequent, also, I'll tell my dorm mates/family to download the demo :)

Well I havn't tried from my home location (Australia), because you seem very far away, and I don't normally get represenative download speeds to europe. Obviously I don't host in Australia (my bank account is too small :'(), but the 500 kB/s I get isn't too bad. When space in the other datacenter becomes available it should improve somewhat though. In any case I max out at less then 1.8 MB/s anyway unfortunately (~1.15 MB/s is about the most I get). I could get a faster plan (double, but less in practise), but these new ones count uploads plus other nasty things. When they finally finish that new cable prices should drop considerably.

Oh, I misunderstood your previous post. I thought you had gotten 1.8 MB downloading it with your computer, from your own server, but you actually got that downloading with your server from my server? Nice :D Especially since your server is all the way in Texas :P

I know, its so sad :'(. I should move to Fremont soon, which if the name means anything (its Fre-e! They wouldn't lie would they?) should make it all better.

The demo has now been mirrored over at AtomicGamer:

Enjoy!

And Gamershell also joins in on the fun.

Great news on the demo. I'm sure that getting this into the hands of people will encourage them to buy after they've tried.

Can we expect demos for the Mac/Linux versions too?

Quick update about demo downloads:

My server had about 700-800 downloads in the first 24 hours.  Among those downloaders was a site in Chinese that linked to me.

Apparently, World of Goo translates somewhat well to Chinese or something...

if anyone needs it, here goes a megaupload mirror
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IEQ259NJ

And the demo is also on Steam, even for Europe!

How about a linux beta demo? wouldn't that be good for testing purposes as well?

Thanks for the Demo Kyle - it may mean a purchase from the boss at work who seemed keen to try it out first for his kids.  :D
