Torrents and other stuff

  1. I was wondering if mises.org has torrents of the video files? It would seem like a more economical way to get them than to mooch them straight from the site.

  2. Also, it might be a nice touch to organize them into large collections for beginners. For a layman, trying to find suitable media files is difficult, since obviously some contain more advanced concepts than others. Maybe a torrent or two which contain essential stuff. It would certainly make the subject far more accessible.

  3. A ‘file type’ filter in the media section would be very nice.

  4. A glossary of economic terms would be very useful. I’ve been using the one at The Economist myself, but it is a bit muddled and one sided (for example, in explaining inflation, only the ‘modern’ use of the term is given).

I agree, I am pretty much am familiar with most economic terms now, but about a year ago when I began looking at Mises.org, I was pretty much lost. I have since taken a Macroeconomics and Microeconomics course at a local university, so I am more “economically literate.” It would have been helpful for me last year though, and could have spared me the regurgitated Keynsian crap.
