Ask HN: Are there any good open source data sets around?

I'm looking to play with some open source data sets, but I can't find any with anything particularly interesting. Or the interesting ones aren't big enough.

Thanks! I've been googling away but I was trying to leverage off the community having an eye for what is interesting and what is boring. This looks like a gold mine.
