"AOL just released the logs of all searches done by 500,000 of their users
over the course of three months earlier this year. That means that if you
happened to be randomly chosen as one of these users, everything you
searched for from March to May (2006) is now public information on the
internet."
From:
http://digg.com/tech_news/AOL_Releas..._500_000_Users

Possible download links:

Note that the MD5SUM should be:
"The md5 of the file AOL posted (and now removed) is
31cd27ce12c3a3f2df62a38050ce4c0a."
"

IIRC the page you link to has a link to Greg's page. I recommend using the
mininova torrent link though (which is also mentioned on Greg's page).

BTW, notice the :-) after Read before you post ;-)
