Okay so today Blockchain.info was down and I desperately wanted to send a transaction. I have the json file wallet backup and tried to import it in Multibit but they dropped support for this it seems.  I tried an old version where I could import but it got me errors.

is there any Client which supports these wallet backups?

Thanks

Apparently there is this pyton script that you can use: https://gist.github.com/anfedorov/2757171

The wallet key tool also supports this: https://github.com/prof7bit/wallet-key-tool
thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=610555.0

I didnt try either of those, use at your own risk.

Since blockchain is working again you could also just send all your coins to any new wallet.

1st question - when blockchain.info was down today?

And the answer to your question is here :

"(...)You can also import blockchain.info wallet backup files by changing the file type in the 'File format' drop down combobox.(...)"
https://multibit.org/help_importingPrivateKeys.html

blockchain.info was down about 2 hours ago, and I was given a "Error 520".

Thanks for letting me know :) I didn't saw that.

Well it happens occasionally. Very occasionally that's why I did asked when this happens cause this is always interesting when they're down :)
