The link you sent is for the Socrata datasets. It looks like the federal government is still using Socrata for some datasets (about ~6,000), but the bulk of them (~74,000) now appear to be on CKAN at http://catalog.data.gov/dataset. If you want to download a dataset from Socrata, just click on the dataset, then up on the right hand side of the page you'll see a button called Export (in between Visualize and Embed, right below the "Find in this Dataset" search bar).

Irina, Thank you. I heard Doug Nebert announce this yesterday at the UCGIS 2013 Symposium:
http://ucgis2.org/event-item/preliminary-program

When I look for the 73,651 data sets, I find only 7,808 at: https://explore.data.gov/Other/Data-gov-Catalog/pyv4-fkgv

So where are the other 65,843?

My audit for reproducible results is at: http://semanticommunity.info/An_Open_Data_Policy
