you should package this up as a bloom filter and simple js routine web developers could use to do client-side checks to validate passwords.

edit: on 2nd thought looks like a bloom filter for 5B entries at p=0.01 would be ~5GB, so not exactly convenient

The largest list is 20GB, but it's not the only one.

Popularity was based on how many they appeared in files that had all duplicates removed (in reference to themselves)

The smallest file had passwords that appeared 75+ times, and the largest file had passwords that appeared 2+ times.

The top 195 Thousand (which appeared 25+ times in analysis) clocks in at 803kb as a text file with nothing but the passwords themselves

Password validation is stupid and annoying. At best this should be used to display a warning that can be ignored.
