Or at that size, perhaps bittorrent. Or, another potential place -- an Amazon Web Service Public Data Set: http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/ "Public Data Sets on AWS provides a centralized repository of public data sets that can be seamlessly integrated into AWS cloud-based applications. AWS is hosting the public data sets at no charge for the community" I find their pre-loaded PostGIS open-street-map and 2008 TIGER/LINE data extremely convenient: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=275 _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
