Steam: "Demo unavailable. Try again at another time"

This has happened to me twice now, once with the Loki: Norse Warrior demo and once the Dawn of War: Soulstorm demo. Does anyone have any explanations? The only thing I can think of is downloading Steam on a new PC, and using my old profile. It has never happened to me before that, though admittedly I didn't download a whole lot.

    Have you tried disconnecting from Steam, then reconnecting? Also verify the integrity of the demo (right click the demo). Worse comes to worse, try redownloading it?

    You could also delete your clientregistry.blob file.

    Seems like sometimes steam gets really busy and just does not want to do anything. Its always fun when I try to launch a game of TF2 and it tells me steam is busy and to try again later.
