Still works for me. Based on their welcome message, it looks like they intended to pass out members-only passwords but someone "forgot" to disable anonymous ftp... :-)
Just ignore their instructions to log in as "i2o" and log in as anonymous with an E-Mail address for a password and away you go.
Another reason you may not have been able to get in - they only alow 10 anonymous connections at a time (I was #10 when I got in). My guess is that they've been running the limit on anonymous ftp since the word got out. :-) I would LOVE to see their reaction to their download report come Monday morning! ROTFL!

My guess is that the spec is spreding in a geometric progression at this point... Gives us one hell of a leg up on reverse engineering even if they do close the site back up and then modify the spec. :-) :-)
The site is still open but you will probably be better off using real ftp instead of a browser so you can seen any funky error messages like "no more anonymous ftp" when they run over the 10 limit.
