For those of you who have no idea WTF's going on in the game, TheNextGame has a useful guide about how to play it. It's based on an older beta, but the basics are the same with the demo, most changes are just aesthetic.
Mirrors available here: http://www.3dgamers.com/games/darwinia/downloads/ The official site is pretty much impossible to access at the moment.

Introversion Software wrote Uplink. Ambrosia published the Mac port. The same is true of Darwinia.

I'm afraid you're rather mistaken. Not only did Ambrosia Software publish the mac version of Uplink, they are also publishing the mac version of Darwinia. Look here for more information: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/news/upcoming/
from being a beta tester of the full game, that it totally rocks. Storyline, graphics, gameplay are all excellent. Download the demo now and then pre-order it!
For those who are wondering: it is a unique RTS, hard to explain, download the demo and you'll find out;)

You want screenshots? OK. Yeah, I know, the bottom-right corner version info isn't to the same quality of evidence as a GPG signature is, but I can't really get any better. Ignore the "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"; that only applies to the phase 2 beta.
Also see the phase 2 beta tester list for my nick, and note that I registered my account here before Darwinia was announced, and that e-mail and home page matches up.

There is a HTTP download here if the Darwinia site is too slow and you can't torrent.

This game is fun and the data files are moddable.
.rar file.
The main.dat file is actually a renamed
So fix the extension and you can decompress it into the base game data which is written in plain text.
