In doing some digging into the history of Calvin's Commentaries, I came across a complete pdf of Calvin: Commentaries The Library of Christian Classics Volume XXIII. The library of Christian Classics is a 26 volume set put out by Westminster John Knox Press, Presbyterian Publishing.

I came across this complete pdf while searching for more contemporary translations of Calvin's Commentaries. Some of the free versions of Calvin's Commentaries are of a style that the translators of this volume state "is no longer our own." And also:

"The older translations are from the hands of a number of scholars. Their English styles are different, and not of the same quality. Besides, the exegetical and theological predilections of the several translators have understandably colored their versions of the Latin text."

This volume was included in the massive The Calvin 500 Collection from Logos.

Addendum
The old versions of Calvin's Commentaries are based on Calvin's Latin and French versions. The Latin versions were taken from the Corpus Reformatorum. This appears to be a link to a good chunk of the the Corpus Reformatorum.
