Funny I just realized we don't have tarball for the dataset.

Anyway you can get dataset from VTK;

http://vtk.org/get-software.php#release
Then download VTKData:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vtk/VTKData-4.2.tar.gz?download


If you have cvs running:
1.
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public dot kitware dot com:/cvsroot/VTK login
[vtk]
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public dot kitware dot com:/cvsroot/VTK co VTKData

Data will be in VTKData/Data/

2.
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at www dot paraview dot org:/cvsroot/ParaView login
(respond with empty password)
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at www dot paraview dot org:/cvsroot/ParaView co ParaView

Data will be in ParaView/Data/Data/ (for example: vox8_bin.vtk)

3.
I know that big ensight dataset can be used. If you have ensight you 
should have a cd with pretty big dataset in Ensight format.

4.
Otherwise here is the list of file format VTK/ParaView supports:

And ParaView only support: HDF5, SPCTH Spy Plot, eXtensible Data Model 
and Format
