[Corpora-List] free corpus

[Cyrus Shaoul]

Hi Peter,

I have developed a fairly large USENET corpus (ie: it is big, currently 
13 billion words and growing)
 and it is available to all under a creative commons license (ie: it is 
free for non-commercial use. Just cite us if you use it
for research).
 
It is untagged. It contains text written in a broad range of genres and 
registers.

It is currently limited to 1gb of downloads a day from non-academic 
networks, but that is not too shabby.

It is available here:

Enjoy,

Cyrus
