Oh, and I told myself SOFIXIT, so I did. :)

Thanks, Jean-Frédéric! I did not know about your
tool. I did spend some
time looking for a tool on Commons, most specifically here[1], but didn't
find anything appropriate. It did not occur to me to just grep GitHub,
though. :)
Anyhow, my tool is on GitHub too[2], although it's incomplete. The
category mode is working fine, but it was originally started (long ago) as
a downloader for preparing images for offline Wikipedia editions, based on
an article list, and supporting multiple parallel downloaders, and that
part is incomplete. I'll get around to finishing that Some Day Soon.
But if anyone wants to use the tool and has questions, I'm happy to help.

Hi Asaf,
Based on this need, I'm building a downloader tool (as a volunteer; this
isn't done in my WMF role) to help create
such collections of
reduced-resolution (any size you want) images for a given Commons
category. It's not quite ready for use, but in the meantime I've created
the collection you wanted in the size you specified. It is 157 megabytes
in size, and you can download it (in a 7-Zip[1] archive) from here[2].
You might want to check out my CommonsDownloader <
https://github.com/Commonists/CommonsDownloader>
It quite does that, except for the category thing but it would be fairly
trivial to add.
Java users may also be interested in Édouard Hue implementation
