I know, I do it all the time. There are certain advantages to downloading 
the whole archive though: offline use, easier to move onto other devices at 
need, and then, all sorts of searching. If you have the whole thing you can 
construct your own search queries on it. But imo the biggest advantages are 
offline use and descentralization of the info so it's more widely held. I've 
a copy of the MIA Capital on my hd, but if I wanted to read some random 
marxist work on the archive I may have never heard of, I'd have to be online 
to do it (which is most of the time, but not all of the time). Anyway, I do 
understand that such a course of action might hinder the DVD sales, and the 
MIA is great at what it does and I wouldn't like it to have issues with 
funding its operations. So it's got to be thought out.
