I've had a look around and didn't see it mentioned anywhere, but there are well over 151,000 Japanese sentences with English translations here. Check it out.

It uses the Tanaka corpus which is known to have many mistakes.

Most of the sentences in the database come from the Tanaka Corpus.

You should be wary of any huge source of sentences for the same reason that the Tanaka Corpus is bad:  They're out of context, subject to inaccuracies (especially when the goal of the project is to compile sentences), and you don't learn as much from them when you don't find them yourself.

Is there any way to copy and paste KO2001 sentences? It's a big pain a type them in yourself and sometimes the IME doesn't have the Kanji I need.

Yes, there is a whole thread on this forum where people entered all the sentences into a spreadsheet, so you don't have to type.
