Looking for large log files to use in a project, where can I find
some?
reddit / irc

I've been working on an AI project that uses the logs of IRC channels
on freenode to learn, however I need more data to do more things. If
anyone can help, i'd be very thankful!

Google can show you where some are. People regularly post irc logs.

Next question: how can I download all the logs from the freenode
website's archive?

This is a good one. Do you need specifically Freenode? Or will this
network do?

As far as downloading them all, do you have access to a linux machine?
If so, you can use wget and only retrieve "*.txt" files recursively.

I would prefer freenode, however I am more in need of a single or
smaller amount of files of the logs, while still being a lot of data.
EDIT: I'll get this working. Dang that is a lot of data, thanks!

Incidentally, ubuntu's irc *is* freenode.

Ubuntu's irc is on freenode.
