Anyone know where to get the big data files?

The embargo has started, but I can't locate the data files. Normally they would be in www.census.gov/.../. I'm looking for the combined geography files and the By_State_All_Tables data files. Suggestions? Thanks

I don't have access to the embargoed files, but if you have a username and password, you might try this: Go to the page for the 2013 downloads (www2.census.gov/.../), right click on the 2013 version of the file you want and click on "copy link location". Paste it into a new browser tab, and change the URL from 2013 to 2014 wherever applicable. It will ask you for a username and password, so I don't know what happens after that.

So for example, if you wanted the 2014 5-year All Geographies file, the 2013 URL is www2.census.gov/.../All_Geographies_Not_Tracts_Block_Groups.tar.gz, so try www2.census.gov/.../All_Geographies_Not_Tracts_Block_Groups.tar.gz.
