Ok, call me an idiot, but I don't back up my minecraft data. They released the 1.8 for me today, so i updated. Currently, the Minetown server is outdated, and i have no backups to go back to 1.7. So, would i be able to re-download the 1.7 anywhere, or how long should i be expecting to wait until Minetown updates there servers? Any info on this would be great. I kinda really want to play, as i am basically addicted to this server, and as of yet, i can no longer play because of the update! Any help would be really really nice here guys. Thanks.

Go to minetown.net home page and read the information on how to go back to 1.7.
