There are several sites for data, including:

UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/

Carnegie Mellon Statlib Archive: http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/datasets/

DELVE Datasets: http://www.cs.utoronto.ca/~delve/data/datasets.html

MIT Broad Institute Cancer Datasets: http://www.broad.mit.edu/cgi-bin/cancer/datasets.cgi
