Anyone have a large folder tree sample?

Question

I'm doing some testing that requires a large folder tree. 1000s of folders, 100000s of files, atleast a gigabyte but not over 5 thats a little big. (around 2 is fine).

Anyone have one that they use as a test file? I can provide storage and transfer mechanism to share if you need it.

Well, if you don't want to generate random data, then you can, for example, download the DMoz database, it's an enormously big XML file with a tree in it, then parse it and generate a directory tree that follows the structure of the DMoz directory. You will have a meaningful and huge directory of files.
