Hi, Rexford.
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].
I hope this helps, and let me know if you run into other issues.

I have enough space, just the connection to transfer onto my space is the issue.
But I think 3 Gig shouldn't be an issue to work with.

Thanks. We'll really love it if you help get it up and running for us.
The category is: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_ Wiki_Loves_Africa_2014_in_Ghana
As regards resolution, a 1080x720 will be great. Upon picking the ones interested, we can hunt for their full res later.
It's actually easier to grab the full res one, so unless there are disk space problems I would prefer to grab that.
The issue in Ghana is bandwidth, not space.
