Why don't you give us some parameters of the types of data you are
looking for and we can suggest possible sources of new data. You can
see a few links I've collected at http://delicious.com/hadley/data.
If you want something really big, there's also the data expo
challenge: http://stat-computing.org/dataexpo/2009/
