Are you limited by total BW cap, or transfer rate? There's no reason an suitably intelligent resumption system could allow that TB to be downloaded over the course of several months if necessary. You'd be a lower priority peer, but still contributing. The manpower and logistic hurdles of shipping disks around make it seem unlikely it would ever be an option, but perhaps something more local sneaker-net where they partner with nearby universities or libraries with decent connections who allow people to bring their machines/disk arrays in for that specific use.
