This problem still exists for me also as of mid May. When I click on the 
dataset link

http://aima-data.googlecode.com/files/aima-data.2007.06.15.zip

A malware warning page comes up instead of a download dialog. It says "The file 
you
are about to download has been identified as malware..."

When I download it anyway I
get a file of 2258501 Bytes with an MD5 sum of 8163262899a2bf16f600bc2aad130243

I'm using Firefox 3 Beta 5 under Ubuntu 8.04

Peter Norvig responded to my email and said he would check it out.

I downloaded the file with malware and unzipped it. The file named spam.txt 
contained
the Sircam worm mixed in with all the spam email. That seems to be the only 
thing bad
in it. The Sircam worm started spreading in 2001 and affects only Windows 
95,98,ME
Not XP or 2000 (Nor Vista I'm guessing)

I re-created the zip file, and it seems to be ok now -- I didn't get any 
warning.
