Free Dharma
FWBO
There are some free books at the following site, which is Sangharakshita's site. There was a new book last time I checked so, I won't even begin to list them, but I'll note that it's not just Sangharakshita's work, there's also a book by Nagabodhi last time I checked.
For mp3 files, check out Dharmachakra. They too are very much in the process of change, and are making more and more available free. I bought the complete talks (now it's incomplete since he's made some more) of Sangharakshita in my own personal effort for them to make enough money to begin to make it all free. Buy a CD, and speed the organization to making more and more free.
I'm going to post this thus far, but there's more work to be done on it, come back to see more links.
Non FWBO
There is a large collection of the ancient writings. One is here. One is here.
The Tricycle podcast archives is pretty good.

Change Your Mind Day
We met for lunch at a cool place Seth picked out. Change Your Mind Day did end up going to the alternate location, which was the Pure Land Buddhist Church on Riverside Drive, in the 90's. There was dancing and talks, with short meditation. This is my 3 great NYC sangha event, and it was once again interesting in seeing all kinds of people, and seeing the different ways people practice. Laurie Anderson told some stories, which was cool, and there were talks. The Buddhist dances were pretty cool too. Vajramati, Trebor, Alyssa and I went for coffee after we'd had enough, and that was fun to.
