I bumped into what appears to be a Blade Runner laser disc transfer of the international theatrical cut at:
thepiratebay

Now I was wondering if any of you guys know which transfer this would be and how it compares to other transfers? It’s a two disc affair with the movie on one disc and extras on the second disc including “Interviews” and “Comic Book” + DVD-ROM content. Any help regarding this would be much appreciated. I basically want to know if this is one of the better transfers or if I should keep looking.

First of all I'd like to say this is just my opinion.

Having downloaded this, I found the picture quality of the transfer to be poorer than a number of VHS transfers. There is very noticable color bleeding and artifacts such as blue coloured vertical bands, (crosstalk?) which I assume is due to the laserdisc player used.

Disc 2 is brilliant though, being full of DVD rom content and the interviews are the same as in Film 101: Future Shock documentary but with a shorter running time.
