  Can I download jpeg files from WordPress as I can download video files?

  Sure, they won’t have a handy Download button like VideoPress videos do, but you can right-click any image in any browser and choose either “Download file as” or “Save file as” (depending on the browser).

  You are right. However the upload file (2-3mb) becomes 70kb as a download. Exchanging full size jpeg files is best done by email?

  Your theme will resize the image to fit the content area, so if you want to download the baby photo at full quality (for example), click the image so you’re viewing the full 20130308-ella-annie.jpg image, then right-click that.

  Is it the case that for reasons of economy uploads of jpeg files to WordPress are compressed from the original 2-5mb to something like 100-200kb? Downloaded jpeg files from WordPress therefore cannot be any bigger than the 100-200kb version.

  No, when you upload files, we maintain the full original. Your theme may display a resized on instead, since it has to be shrunk to fit the content area anyway, but it will link to the original full quality file.
