this is Sebastian from Maut.
There is a dataset from a Czech dating site that might interest you: http://www.occamslab.com/petricek/data/
Btw, the term item-based does not refer to a special collaborative filtering approach that refers to the dataset itself, which is usually in the general form of user element triplets, with which most shared filtering approaches work.
We would like to hear your experiment results and impressions (if you want to share them) in our user mail list at user@mahout.apache.org
