I am reposting my submission from reddit. Not sure if that's frowned upon. Let me know if it is.
You could download it all and then delete the bits you don't want. You use the manage.sh script to do that, with a command like
But honestly I think you wouldn't save much space. If you were to delete everything but the stackoverflow.com data, I think you'd eliminate only about 10 GB. Stack Overflow is much larger than all the others.
If you don't need Stack Overflow you'd eliminate a ton of data, but then you're better off importing the thing you wanted from scratch -- it takes little time to import the smaller sites. Check out the instructions on the stackdump page on how to do that (or ask me, if you prefer).
