Yes. But you need do all the process to get the images-metainfo before
download the images. I already did the process, then I can provide the
files to you and skip the previous steps.
You can download the files favorites_en.txt
and enwiki-20111201-pages-articles.xml.page_images from
http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/wikiserver/

Are not gigabytes, but remember we download the images scaled to the size
displayed in the wiki page (usually really small). To see the full size
images you need be connected anyway. In the case of the Spanish wiki, are
26MB.

Of course, if you want have the images stored in the school server, you can
modify download_images.py
