The tracker did not work properly and after a few retries it gave this: Can't send torrent Non-registered visitors are limited to 3 torrent downloads per week. To download the torrent you must register.

That's weird, I tested it and got a few other people without Demonoid accounts to help me test it, to make sure that it could be downloaded without registering. I'm no BT expert though, so if anyone figures out that I've done something wrong, please tell me about it.
If you can't get the torrent to work, you could always download the whole thing as a huge 77MB zip from here:
I suppose zipping MP3 files doesn't actually make them any smaller, since they're compressed already, but it makes them more convenient to download.

It was most likely the tracker having a bad moment. On the first two tries it did not reply at all, on the third try it replied but never supplied all the bits BitTorrent needed. Then it was game over.
Clever trick to make the files unplayable in Windows Media Player. Nice cover, if it means anything I think the quality of the songs improved through the album.

I ran them through the Creative Commons Publisher tool, and it adds extra metadata for the licensing information. Maybe it puts some kind of anti-DRM in there too... I've never tested them with Windows Media, I'll check that out.
*edit* I reproduced the problem here. It turns out that Windows Media Player is allergic to the extra stuff that CCPublisher puts in the header. So I guess at least half of all the people who download it won't actually be able to play it. Oh well

It plays fine in anything that is not windows media player. So don't worry about it, I think anyone that listens to that album will have something else installed... Even quicktime works.
But I have to admit, that second track has revived my faith in the fact there is a reason for stereo speakers in a laptop. Even from a few feet away I could hear it fading around

Nice one Steve, I've listened to the album a few times now but only tonight through my 'home alone' amplifier
There's a lot of variety there, the floating world track is a masterpiece, serious electronic TB303ish sounding stuff mixed in with something mixed in with what reminds me of the soundtrack from some Egyption game level on the NES many years ago, and I'm sure the santa pod track has just a tiny bit of oasis influence in it, especially at 1:40, that's the first thing I thought when I heard it. That's my beer influenced review anyway, good stuff
