Another great source for archived content is Open Culture. When you visit the
site you'll immediately see lists of free movies, books, courses and essentials such as business courses audio and education. I was a little disappointed when looking into some of the links as they tend to be ads for other search engines and your redirected far too often. But there is some great content there if you have a search around.
