A great resource for free lectures/lessons is "iTunes U" within iTunes!

TED has many excellent mini-lectures on it. It's great.

I'll fourth MIT online, very useful site.
Anything in particular you are looking for Azure? There are resources out there so much more interesting than boring university lectures. I for one LOVE TED and Authors@Google.

Nothing in particular. Obviously, because I work with computers/networks....anything based around computer science/programming is a big plus, but if I'm going to further my education in those specific areas, I'll be taking an actual course.
I have a general interest in political sciences, economics, history, certain sciences, kinesiology, etc.
I was actually searching for some online courses, and I noticed that some universities offer video lectures for free. I don't have the time to actually do the handouts, the assignments, etc that they offer, but I can watch the lectures. So I was just wondering if there are any other sites on the internet that offer lectures of any kind free for download.

About anything really, history, economics, science, etc. etc.....be pretty interesting to hear someone lecture on it.

Go to itunes university. They've got a lot of free lectures online, listened to a fascinating set of lectures from Cambridge about Darwin and Evolution given its the big anniversary. Also you could find torrents to The Teaching Company (TTC) who have video and audio lectures that they sell on a massive variety of topics. Downloading those would of course would be illegal.

Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, what about lectures do you find particularly interesting? Learning acadamia type knowledge (spintronics, game theory, Fraud, cell biology, et al) or the ideas that come from this knowledge?
I seem to have lost the "wow" factor to new ideas unless there is something that is really, really mind blowing or earth shattering. Fundamentally, everything seems so rudimentary. The last idea I found really really cool was Siftables on TED. (i.e. Authors@Google have some great ideas out there ranging from psych to poli sci, but there's nothing there that makes me take a step back and go "wow, now that is really cool"). Before that, a true random number generator that could be directed to a certain range of numbers; since then, its been 2 years since I got an actual "wow"

Anything really.
I can even watch a 2 hour lecture on why capitalism is a bad idea, as long as the guy is interesting. 
Its just something to pass the time....instead of watching movies, playing games, etc, etc.

I'm not there yet. I've watched a few more 'advanced' physics courses, given my general interest in the subject.....and a lot of the stuff is WAY over my head.
Interesting to listen, but to me its more of a 'whoa this is crazy'....
