Let me give my thought on download area. Though most likely after that you will throw stones at me.
I don't think that download area is a great idea for following reasons.
1. It will be a bit messy (i prefer keeping useful files for verbal resources and verbal section, math resources at math section, and so on....) I mean look at the verbal help.. the list of downloadable files is huge...can you imagine all the files together?
2. It will be hard to estimate the value of attached information. (What mean is that putting all the files together will be hard to see whether a person needs it or not, ... as a result a person end's up with a pile of downloaded files with no idea what are they, and what to use them for... ) I believe walkers timer would be much more easier to oversee in a list of downloadable files, compared to current situation. (Can't see the forest for the trees)
3.Most of downloadable information is useless without the original post... one would have to go that post anyway. A lot of useful info from the same topic may be both downloadble and not downloadable (in form of posts)..
4. It will highly encourage visitors who do not want to contribute anything to GMAT Club community (just download stuff and move on) rather than reading some posts, and writing their own...
5. One can find pretty much
ALL need information and useful links at this thread
everything-you-need-to-preapare-for-the-gmat-revised-77983.html Now, maybe it can be improved?
I guess that's it...what do you guys think, am I making any sense?
