Ya i know, you might be thinking, what, another resource listing free GIS data resources?? You betcha... but not just "another" site full of links.... since I've got access to a wealth of contacts and data links via the years that I've been managing and running popular GIS news portals I'm now pleased to share with the GIS user community a collection of all the best places to access and download free GIS data... enjoy and please be sure to suggest resources if you think they should be listed here.
