I got 274 demos for WHDLoad ready to unpack and run, if you want them ill put them on my server for direct HTTP download.

Edit: Ill extract them and put them in a single archive for ease of use if you want.

EDIT: Done, Demos dir contains extracted Demos (extracted to see what the archive contains) and a Demo.ZIP containing everything, just unpack and everything is ready for WHDL.
No password required for access to Demo dir, get the Demo.zip @ http://www.the-som99.nu
Speed might be low (160-260KB/s) since my server is under a lot of load atm from other users and I host from my own ISP.

Edit: Anyone can grab it if they want :)

Edit: 1 download complete and 4 downloading right now, keep in mind that speed will be slow when a lot of users download, but no worries, the server is up 24/7 :)
Bandwith it set to a que, first downloader gets most bandwith but when he is done second in que gets fastest etc, so speed will increase over time so no worries.

You can download Mind Candy 2 for free now since it sold out.  Not exactly the same thing since this is a dual layer DVD video of Amiga demos.  Lots of cool demos included.  This plays on your DVD player or fast enough computer.

http://www.mindcandydvd.com/2/frames?p=info

Special Features:
Audio commentary
 Each demo has an audio track discussing the demo, from either the original  demo creators, other fans and experts, or ourselves.
 Subtitles
 By popular demand from our non-native-English-speaking friends, the commentary is now accompanied by subtitles, in no fewer than three languages: English, French, and  German.
 Original and 5.1 channel soundtracks
 All demos feature both the original stereo soundtrack, captured straight from Amiga hardware, and a surround sound track, rebuilt from the audio samples contained within the demo music files.
 12-page full color booklet
 Once again the package contains a large booklet, with info on every demo,  along with a timeline of Amiga demos, credits, and various other tidbits of information.
 Production notes
 Volume 2's production notes go beyond the first, with a full audio track,  photos, and in-progress screenshots and animations.  No enthusiast (read: geek ;) ) stone is left unturned, as we share just how much a pain reviving old hardware can be.
 New playback modes
 For fun, we've added two new playback modes - shuffle, which plays demos back randomly - every time you put in the disc - and jukebox, which allows you to play up to a dozen demos in the order you want.  We used a few tricks to get them working on all DVD players, but isn't that what demo coding is all about?
 Animated menus
 In addition to the "multi-demo" select screens, now the main menus get some new animation.  Prepare for the unexpected!

Note: Mind Candy 1 and 3 are still commercial and contain PC demos.

Your welcome.
I am having some issues with my UG file server/upload machine atm (raid array issues and loss of torrent dats) so have been gone from UG a week or so untill I get time to resolve it, I usally seed 1500+ torrents weighting about 7-8TB (might be more) over at UG 24/7 an as you might have seen im ranked #3 at the ratio hiscore (last time i checked)
So as soon i get the UG machine up and running ill seed again (aprox in one week).

edit: what is your username on UG?

Btw, I found a torrent file called: Commodore Amiga - Demos - Packs (TOSEC-v0.03_CM)

Which has 1.4GB of Demo's in ADF format which was exactly what I was after (I like running things off Floppy for a more genuine Amiga experience). :D

Not to forget: There is a good Demos section in the always updated Amiga Forever from Colanto.
