Using vgio it's possible to get some information about the demo by reading the messages:

In [22]: d.message_blocks[0].messages

Get the run-time from the very last instance of quake.dem.Time, e.g.:

In [19]: d.message_blocks[-2].messages                                                                   
Out[19]: 
[<quake.dem.Time at 0x7f9b417d8678>,
 <quake.dem.ClientData at 0x7f9b4177c0e8>,
...
In [20]: d.message_blocks[-2].messages[0].time

Only thing missing would be the skill level.

focus focus focus! i actually have a tool by one of the sda guys that will give us lots of precious information about those files but that is FAR out of scope for the moment! that's all the awesome stuff that can be added once the site is in a usable state. ;)

Please restrict upload to archives (zip, rar, 7z, dz). Plain .dem files are very bloated for modern mods because of particles and other eye-candy being included.

Tbh, this is something I don't consider worthwhile. The demo upload feature wasn't used much at all before, and I'd rather have no demos at all than people uploading crappy playthroughs that can just as well be hosted elsewhere (and posted in the comments if desired). This is not essential for the archival of the maps themselves.

And demos would just be another type of files that could be part of the whole repository. Using some kind of references they could be linked to their maps and vice-versa.
