I just went looking for the Ferrar Fenton Bible translation. Had you heard of that?

An external link therein took me to here in which I just selected the Moffat translation. It's only the New Testament with this selection.

btw. The webmaster has slapped a copyright notice on everything hosted, which reads:

Copyright © 2014 This content is protected by copyright and may not be converted or disseminated in any form without written permission.

NB. I don't think this is a valid claim in legal terms for those translations that have passed into the public domain. However, I should note that I am not a copyright lawyer. One thing is pretty certain. File format shifting by making digital copy of a printed work does not create a new work with its own copyright.

I had found that, yes. I was relieved that I could just grab the New Testament from there.

Yeah, you can't retroactively copywrite something in the public domain.
