Best Websites for Downloading and Converting Video, Audio, and Text Files for Free in 2023

     What follows is a list of websites (as of 2023) which internet users can visit in order to download video, audio, and internet articles and text files, for free.

     Most of these websites require users to copy a URL link, and then paste it into a field.

     This list also contains links to sites that allow users to convert the file types of certain files.

     It also contains links (under the heading "Torrenting Websites") to sites that allow users to download music and videos using a torrenting service (such as uTorrent).

     You will need to download a torrenting program before using such sites.

     [Note:

     Some of these websites are old, and therefore, may not still be operating. You may need to attempt several links in order to find one that works for the particular file that you are trying to download or convert.]
