where to get csv sample data? [closed]

Question

As part of my development I need to process some .csv files.

For what it matters I am writing a super fast CSV parser in java

I would like to ask if somebody can name some websites where I can find some good csv files so I can test my app.

Please don't tag this question is inappropriate I think developers would benefit from a list of good sites where to find sample data

The baseball archive can be downloaded in CSV format. The batting statistics file contains a little over 90,000 rows of data which should be helpful in performance testing your app.
