1. Do any of the vods have english commentary, to help me understand the game? 2. Can someone give me a brief rundown of the series-to-watch from the archive? Specifically looking for preface to SC2 history, paradigm changes and metagame revolutions.
I can really only answer your first question and that would be no unfortunately. There is alot of videos on youtube though with english commentary.

I suggest you go for some of Cholera's VODs on youtube; they're in English and are usually fairly well explained, although he generally assumes you know what the units are and the basic mechanics and so forth http://www.youtube.com/user/CholeraSC/videos
There are probably more "basic" commentaries around, but I don't really know what they'd be. Savior vs Bisu is one of the most revolutionary series that changed the matchup forever, definitely check it out.

Savior vs Bisu was in the MSL though not the OSL
Can I find the vod for that anywhere? I've heard of the series, and I'm intrigued of Savior since reading the article series about him on this site.

There's also a really nice Day[9] + Nony commentary on Savior vs Bisu, if you're going to watch the match I'd suggest that. Might not be super accessible if you've never watched any BW before, so maybe it'd be good to watch some pre-Bisu PvZ to get a feel for what it was like...
I had a massive BW collection from 2008-2011, mainly downloading the OSL/MSL tornaments from youtube via keepvid. But I lost it all when my dad randomly formatted my ext hard disk so that he could use it, QQ.
this would be a great thing just to have in your harddrive for an archive. To bad when i started downloading there was 91 leeches and 1 seeder. Don't think ill bother trying to download this for awhile.

I wish I could afford some kind of seedbox for it or something:/
