Ch5: Can't dowload data because ClearBits permanently shut down

According to this (http://blog.stackexchange.com/category/cc-wiki-dump/) the websites provided for the data in the book are no longer valid. The blog claims that the data is now at the Internet Archive. However, I cannot seem to locate the data necessary for chapter 5.

Indeed, according to the website the data has been moved to Internet Archive a week ago to
https://archive.org/download/stackexchange/stackexchange_archive.torrent.

Tonight, I will download, check the content of the torrnet and report back in this thread.

Thanks for pointing this out, @TFGIT!

So, I looked into the torrent with ktorrent and it contains stackoverflow-*.7z files of the proper sizes. In our case we would be interested in stackoverflow.com-Posts.7z. To convert it to the better chewable TSV format, you might want to change https://github.com/luispedro/BuildingMachineLearningSystemsWithPython/blob/master/ch05/so_xml_to_tsv.py#L27 accordingly.
