Oct 26, 2015 at 18:26 comment added Tim Campion In fact the only presentable objects in Top are the discrete spaces. See Adamek and Rosicky's book Locally Presentable and Accessible Categories, Example 1.14(6). Top also fails to have a dense generator, see the same book, Example 1.24(7); I believe Top doesn't even have a strong generator and I think/hope the same example shows this. The point is, Top is about as far from being locally presentable as can be, and it's purely for size reasons: the Fajstrup-Rosicky paper Daniel linked to discusses a method for cutting down to a locally presentable category.
