So ive bought a few Groupees bundles now, never really payed attention to any of the albums, etc. Have just decided maybe ill download them and actually give them a listen but it seems the links have gone from the older bundles (fair enough) , it mentions torrents in the groupees faq but I cant find the links anywhere. Tried a search in the usual places but turned up nothing, anyone know where they hide?

Your eyes aren't lying. They removed the torrent option; it was in beta previously, and was available for several bundles I bought (I even used one).

How old are those bundles where the links are gone? I really don't like it and hope it's just a mistake. What if my HD crashes and I lose my data? I payed for the music so I want to be able to download it again. Every other site I know offers unlimited downloads until the site actually dies.

Anything Older than steampunk, if you go to your profile page it has they keys, but even the images for the games are gone. BM: SE and older are all missing

Groupees had an HDD crash and are restoring all data now. They managed to recover all info so nothing's lost, but need to reupload it now.
Also FYI Indie Gala only guarantees your codes/DRM-free links to be available for 30 days after that whatever happens is not their responsibility anymore.

Thanks for the information. Regarding Indie Gala I guess it's just to be safe in case anything happens. Have yet to find out if they really turn off DRM-free download links.

Not all links, I can still download e.g. the music from the steampunk bundle.

It may well be related to the sites recent downtime. Has anyone contacted Groupees about it.

It's very unprofessional to have a business with critical customer data, products and services and not have RAID redundancy and multiple backups to prevent data loss. For that reason alone I wont be buying anything from Groupees ever again. It's been over a month and they haven't restored the data yet. That means that they basically completely lost their data totally and wont be getting it back and everyone is out the products they paid for. They might have had to send the hard disk to a data recovery shop. That's just very amateur to have not had a better infrastructure in place. Fortunately it's only a couple bucks worth of loss for most folks and a lesson learned. I'll stick with more reputable sites instead.

Hey, let's sell eggs! And why not put all of them in the same basket, what could possibly happen? :D

They're going to get confiscated by the NSA, FBI, CIA, and possibly other funny sounding acronyms.

Since direct downloads from Groupees are always so slow for me, I tried to use the torrents, but they never worked for me. Always stuck at 0% and never really starting. Then they removed the option... I guess it was a failure (:P)

you people , if you actually payed attention instead of just going to website "i payed $1 , give me stuff!?!?" you would know one of their servers broke and its getting repaired

@skeleton, so what if its taking awhile??? they need to contact every developer again to get more cd keys back for people who never used theirs etc etc, make sure they are all same so they dont give everyone a brand new key when they only payed for one. its not as simple as you think to restore it all.
