There is much data in the web young Padawan, with the secrets of google fu and other specialized search engines, you can delve deeper than the common land lubber.

With the correct syntax, you can find whatever the hell you want.

Sometimes you can find really interesting data on FTP services...
Ohey I found someone's personal computer running an anonymous ftp

Sometimes you can find current titles and technical manuals for free.

Although the ftp service has problem been long since closed and the system was of no use to me. Particularly interesting was the massive amounts of information on the art of seduction on this guy's computer.

Grabbing data off of systems expands the availability of information. Static resources such as ebooks of value to the sysop are found naturally on their computer. Personally I find other people's interests fascinating and digging into this information can help broaden you own knowledge. In addition many public institutions have an open anonymous ftp services, such as NASA:

If you need help with efficient query syntax, I suggest you learn about googlehacking or google query languages.
