One Stop English Listening
Here's heaps of material here. I'll try to categorize and describe some of it when I get a chance. It prompts your to register, which is free, but many of the materials appear to be available even without registration.

English Accent Coach
This website is being put together by Ron Thomson out of Brock U. It's currently in Beta, and will be changing a bit in the next few weeks, but it looks quite useful for helping learning hear the distinction between sounds. It's also likely good for TESL students learning about phonology and pronunciation.
It's a game-like interface that plays syllables or words containing target phonemes that have to then be identified. The sound quality is high and the the pronunciations are varied but natural. I would strongly recommend using earphones rather than speakers.
