The Stanford iTunesU classes have been truncated to a few seconds. So Susanna Braund's Aeneid course (which was brilliant) is gone. Same thing with their Hannibal course. I don't know that they're available elsewhere.
There are so many things I wish I had time to learn about. I don't need my learning resources, I need a way to jack in and have them uploaded to my brain.
A lot of these are just links to coursera. And quite a few are not from universities (saw a few by PWC)

https://www.openculture.com/free_textbooks - none of the free textbooks that i tried worked? i picked a few from the CompSci category
When you say they didn't work, what does that mean? Opened 10-20 and they all opened as a PDF or a webpage(albeit some don't have HTTPS certificates).

The book Make It Stick by Brown, Roediger and McDaniel is helpful. tl;dr of it is:
- lots of low-stakes quizzing and practice
- spaced repetition
- reflect on what you've learned and what you could do better next time, and apply these lessons in different contexts
- interleave practice of different but related topics
- try to solve a problem before being taught the solution
- distill the underlying principles to different problems
- remember that if learning is easy, you probably aren't engaging you brain very much
This will help streamline the process, but obviously there's just a limit to what you can take in.
