Downloading original trilogy

The best versions for the Original Trilogy so far on this site that I know of are:

 

Harmy's Despecialised Edition where he's using the 2011 Blu-rays as the source and he's eliminating all the SE changes by using various sources and is using a colour reference from an unfaded Tech IB print. He's currently working on v2.1 of Star Wars but v1.0 of all three are available:

Thanks man!  I actually noticed that version when first checking out this site yesterday.  I'm definitely going to try those out.

Thanks again :)

Downloading original trilogy
Time

Hi,

I'm a purist like mostly everyone here.  I purchased the 2004 trilogy because it was the first time available on DVD but of course it was the Special Editions so then I purchased the 2006 trilogy where they included the untouched originals as bonus material.

However, those are letterboxed and when viewed on my 65" HDTV I have to zoom in so the width of the film touches the outside edges of my TV which automatically reduces the picture quality.

I was watching The People vs. George Lucas and I remember them mentioning something like the original trilogy in it's purest form was available to download online.  Is this true?  I know you can try to get it from torrent sites, etc. but I could have sworn they mentioned this site by name.

I'm just looking for good downloads of the original, untouched ANH, ESB and ROTJ films that I can then put on a flash drive and watch on my HDTV without losing the picture quality.  Torrent sites have always given me virus issues so I'm looking for something more reliable.

I would appreciate any help.
