We are running SRTM and NED elevation datasets, and have a web service (sinatra FTW!) exposing the data. I setup a variety of interpolation algorithms, which are fun to play with. If someone needs access to it and has a cool project, we are happy to provide it. Get ahold of me via email for info.
The SRTM data is < 20 gigs compressed, and I downloaded it from some source, can't find the link now. It was a SLOWWWWWW download, so took many days. Reminded me of my old 2400 baud modem.
the NED dataset is just shy of 500 gigs. We shipped a drive off to the USGS and they populated it and shipped it back. The 2 month wait sucked, but it was the only way to get it without paying a thousand bucks from a private company.
I am happy to share either the SRTM or the NED dataset we have, but sharing it is pretty much limited to shipping hard drives around :(
