Does anyone know where I can download audio speeches from? Like speaches by Sir Winston Churchill, AH, Stalin, Patton and others? If its legal of course.

Dunno about where, but I can speak to some of the legality: should be fine, pretty much across the board (for the names you listed).

Some possible resources off a quick google:

http://www.npr.org/about/nextgen/howto/sound_library.html

(seems to be mainly sound clips that you can download, not whole speeches)

http://www.historychannel.com/speeches/archive1.html

(more full speeches, some odd names)

http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/store/category.cfm?category_id=7

(you can order just about anything churchill here)

I'm sure you can find more in a google or two, just google "<insert name> audio recordings".
