Here's a nice little piece of software I found very useful. I can't figure out the guy's name, but the tool he has built is great and doesn't feel like freeware at all, although it is. Browse to the page below for exercises on intervals, chords, scales and more. His blog in general is full of music exploration stuff and is great in its own right, regardless of the fact that it's focused on jazz trumpet playing.
The best way for me to use the tool is random melodies generator - so I'm not exactly training my ear. I'm rather working on my sight reading skills.

Select the "Melodies" section and then the scale and the number of notes, set up the tempo to a comfortable one and then gradually go up. Set the play mode to "SS Delay" and uncheck "Delay Results" tickbox. This will give you a nice training which I believe should be done regularly for good progress.
The tool is also downloadable although it's not recommended due to updates and fixes that the tool will
BTW, if anyone knows the guy's name (or if you happen to be the guy) I'd be very happy to credit him :)
