    Is there any place to download all GM versions of macOS/OS X?

    I have 10.15, 10.14 and 10.13 (I can share them if people need them) but I would like to get as many as possible. Only the main release, no point updates.

    Does anyone know of a torrent or can share?

    I'll put them on the server in a bit.

    Edit: Done, I put sha1 checksums on the server.

    Thanks :)
    I checked 420889a7e596343d67b247f69a438d0f20d310e8 *Install macOS Lion_10.7.5_11G63.dmg
    Build version says it is 11E53 :confused:, that would be the same as i uploaded. Corrected to 11G63
    Another difference, it is not the same as you would get from Apple back then.
    Main payload - InstallESD.dmg and some more files in the Install Mac OS X Lion.app but you would also get a MASReceipt file (unique)
    Based on the original files/layout i made a script (to run on OS X) that would create a hybrid iso. (DropDMG will do the same)
    Very handy alternative for those with a mac that would clean install Lion and also, at that time, the only working install media if you would install in VMware as a true mac.
    (for me anyway - back then i learned the hard way that i needed original files/layout to make it work correctly without hissy fits):)
    No bootlader not approved, no kext mods - you could update and it would work as expected.

    Another example would be tonymacx86 that refuse to create install media if layout isn't original and MASReceipt missing.

    Anyway:
    I do have the 10.7.5 11G63 - InstallESD.dmg only, which made me think that it maybe was available - missing a buttload of files belonging to this exact build release.

    Code:
    SHA1 of InstallESD.dmg:
    
    42A4BDE175AA2D6FCBE17E0692C3C6C2D91176E8 > OS X 10.7.4 11E53.dmg
    A044FC01FA75B1F255DBDD6EA4FEFA30CEF147B0 > OS X 10.7.5 11G63 InstallESD.dmg
    79E39CCB6F8A8C40E500BE55A9BF8DE0275BD669 > Install macOS Lion_10.7.5_11G63.dmg (embedded inside pkg file)

    I guess 4b9bc933f50abe824b93ba9eebd8f57f1609ccdb *Install macOS Mountain Lion_10.8.5_12F45.dmg is same layout.
    I posted OS X 10.8.5 12F37 that, at time of posting, was the official build version Apple posted before they removed this info or posted somewhere else.
    (it was updated of course but it was the build verison official posted)
