Finally, after two weeks of downloading - yep, 14 days, more or less - I grabbed the famous HDTV versions of the whole trilogy!

Fellowship Of The Ring.mkv
(3:28:18) 1920x1088 (active 1893x782) 27634067KB
The Two Towers.mkv
(3:44:06) 1920x1088 (active 1893x782) 26044590KB
The Return Of The King.mkv
(4:12:26) 1920x1080 (1920x798) 33587604KB (C more HD logo in the black bar)

Quality is really good; I’m often surprised to discover how good these MPEG-2 broadcasts were (are, like the latest WOWOW Star Wars).

But now, I’m aware of the existence of open matte 16:9 versions… and the mission to find’em all begins!
