Because Mozilla now has at least an order of magnitude more data than Voxforge?

Maybe in English. Voxforge seems to support several other languages as well. (But not mine, it seems.)

Check the sample counts. Other languages have even less data.

I was excited that it had Russian support, but it turns out that there is barely any data there. Not useful for AI training, for Russian it's still better to use public domain movies from USSR with subtitles.
