A new numerical simulation of a turbulent channel in a large box at Re-tau=2003 is described and briefly compared with simulations at lower Reynolds numbers and with experiments. Some of the fluctuation intensities, especially the streamwise velocity, do not scale well in wall units, both near and away from the wall. Spectral analysis traces the near-wall scaling failure to the interaction of the logarithmic layer with the wall. The present statistics can be downloaded from http://torroja.dmt.upm.es/ftp/channels. Further ones will be added to the site as they become available.
