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).

Drag not your strength from government, but from the voices they abuse.

 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.
