Dear Rex, please tone down a little bit. The 2 Terabyte is the raw video. Once it is encoded, it will be a different size. And once it is on Commons, you can download it in multiple qualities automatically. However, the fact that it is 2 TB says something about how hard it is to transfer, how much video we're talking about, and how much work there is to be done. While I appreciate that you love to watch the videos (we all do), I urge you to consider that right now, it is a group of volunteers doing their best to manage things, after a very exhausting number of months organizing Wikimania. They do their best - keep your suggestions constructive please.
