Hi all,
Newbie to tor. Using it for strictly educational purposes for self as
well as to share with others who might be interested in it.

The first thing I want to ask is about the various videos about tor
and if there are english subtitles available for them ?

Specifically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCWeVYCcKXw - I tried to
search in http://tedxtalks.ted.com/browse/talks-by-topic/technology
but came up empty.

and

https://media.torproject.org/video/2009-using-a-bridge-relay-to-access-tor.ogv
( at https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges.html.en)

I haven't downloaded either because didn't see either an .srt or any
mention of subtitles in either of the video description

I used the debian tor package and took sometime to understand where it
starts from (the browser)

$ alias tor
alias tor='/home/shirish/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/start-tor-browser'

Alternatively, if I launch torbrowser-launcher checks the gpg keys of
Erinn Clark I get the following :-

$ torbrowser-launcher
Tor Browser Launcher

gpg:              unchanged: 1
Starting launcher dialog
LATEST VERSION 3.6.5
Checked for update within 24 hours, skipping
Latest version of TBB is installed, launching

As haven't got a mirrors.txt and also don't know a good resource,
there is just a settings file therein.

~/.config/torbrowser$ ls
settings

Is mirrors.txt a necessity? If yes, then looking for documentation about it.

Lastly, it seems the default logging of tor browser sessions is only
at WARN. Is there a way to introduce/have more idea in the log ?

/var/log/tor# head log
log       log.1     log.2.gz  log.3.gz  log.4.gz  log.5.gz

As has been shared in the manpages or somewhere else, it is possible
to change the verboseness but dunno how .

Looking forward to know more.
