self-education has never been this easy!!!

One of my favorite discoveries on the web are The Teaching Company's courses..

http://www.thegreatcourses.com/

Highly qualified professors present interesting scholarly courses in a wide array of specializations.. most of what I've come by seem to belong to Arts & Humanities..

Anyway..
I'm almost done with (The World Was Never the Same: Events That Changed History & Wisdom of History) - 36 lectures - about 30 minutes each..

Another I'm studying is (comparative religion) - it's really good..


Of course, you can try before you buy.. most of the courses are on the pirate bay... keyword: TTC


note: if a TTC torrent doesn't include a pdf guide book, there is a 2 gb torrent with most of the TTC guide books..

There are also some TTC courses available through ConCen. I grabbed all the ones I have from TPB. I found their course on Chaos to be pretty cool.

Thanks for this, attariq.

TBZ sites are ratio-intensive, meaning that if your ratio is too low you can be denied downloading non-freeleech torrents.

It's a good site, but for those who want to download LOTS of this stuff without waiting for their ratios to rise high enough to download more, I'd recommend a TPB search for TTC.

There is a simple trick to get your ratio up quickly. search for big size torrents 20+ gb, than choose the most popular one in terms of leechers, set the download speed lower than your upload limit and that should build your ratio fast. Generally all torrents with high leechers numbers would work well, and you don't have to download all the torrent data for the trick to work.
