I believe they turned off FTP on hyperreal.org some
time ago.

Luckily, though, the IDM archives, dating all the way
back to late 1993(!), are accessible at:

http://www.hyperreal.org/music/lists/idm/archives/

though there's no link on the list homepage that
points to them.

You can do all sorts of cool things with the
archives, like downloading them and
burning them onto a CDR.  Paired with
indexing software or a competent
full-text search engine on your local machine,
you've got a trainspotter's goldmine at your fingertips.

The opportunities for collecting amusing yet useless
statistics are limitless.

               -d.w.
