I have been searching for what feels like forever. So for class I need to have a data set of anything (other than Wikipedia or twitter) that is at least 10 GB (uncompressed) in size. Also the data needs to be in some plain text format or something easy to parse. I found 20 GB for a dump from wikileaks but there wasn't enough plain text stuff, just lots of pdf(image type) files. Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

You can try some government websites, but 10GB of TEXT is a massive amount of data.

Writes binary right handed and hex left handed
What kind of data? Is it supposed to be random or non-random? Could you just generate this data?
Wow I changed my sig!

I looked earlier but could not find anything simple to find, there are always NASA/biomedical/scientific data sets around, often 10-500MBs zipped, many times larger opened.
