Frequently used datasets on machine learning

Reading the WEKA book (Data Mining Practical Machine Learning Tools ...), 
on page 81 I found "... the performance of the 1R procedure was reported on 
sixteen datasets frequently used by machine learning researchers...".
Are those 16 datasets really commonly used? If so, are they freely 
downloadable somewhere?

You can find several collections of datasets in "arff" format in the
WEKA home page: http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/
