When ExampleData is evaluated, Mathematica downloads data from a Wolfram Research Data server. What's the exact domain of this, though? I bet it's something.wolfram.com?

Using Charles proxy, I was able see that ExampleData calls pacletserver.wolfram.com.

With Charles recording, I ran

ExampleData[{"Text", "AliceInWonderland"}]

and it gave me this.

Easy work around without needing to figure out URL Remove all symbols used for retrieving example data from the Context

 Remove["DataPaclets`ExampleDataDump`*"]

This will permit you still to access the other Paclets data like for example CityData etc..

(PS: stop playing with the images now, hi,hi,hi)
