While hunting for the closest-to-perfect Episode III rip (the DVD probably won't be out until 2006), I found about seven worthwile torrents. The first, a 4.5GB AMEN rip, was a fairly professionally-made (PAL) DVD-R which has soft Swedish subtitles and a telesync'd English-language version of the film (with a hilarious opening crawl - in Russian).
I chucked it after I got the (supposedly AC3 5.1) XviD encode of the same DVD, released by iNTERNAL in two CD-R-sized files.
That's it for now; the next one I will get will probably be the 4.4GB DVD release by ARiTASKEBAB.
P.S. The ARiTASKEBAB release seems to be identical to the AMEN release, both of which are based on a METEOR release, apparently. The MoF release is identical to iNTERNAL's, only its video and audio bitrates and half of the latter.
So far, the AMEN release is the best thing after that shitty, timecoded workprint DVD-R that I downloaded a day before I saw the film in a theatre.
P.P.S. The second MoF (one-CD) release claims to be from a screener, however, it's just the same damn thing with the Russian crawl, only smaller and at a shittier bitrate.
Yep, the ARiTASKEBAB release is the same DVD-R, with Swedish subtitles and all; only the menus are different.
P.P.P.S. The 404 release is the same shit, only on a 2.24GB DVD-R.
P.P.P.P.S. The Majestic release is also the same shit, on a 2.3GB DVD-R, and with a different menu.
