Alright, trying to be informative about this as possible.
I got around this years ago at TPB, I don't see it up anymore, and I once tried it to find it via the waybackmachine, but no success. Because the Description used to have all the info bout this fan made release. And I barely remember anything of it.
Anyway, here's the story, as far as I can recall:

The Fragile was released in three formats, CD, Vinyl and Cassette. From wikipedia: "The cassette release is identical to the CD pressing, with the exclusive addition of "+appendage" attached to the end of "Please". 
The vinyl release of The Fragile contains the songs "10 Miles High" and "The New Flesh" (both of which were later released as part of the "We're in This Together" and "Into the Void" singles, dependant on territory.) "The Day the World Went Away", "The Wretched", "Even Deeper" and "La Mer" are all extended mixes, while the opening and closing of each side eliminates the crossfading between songs found on the CD and cassette versions, due to the nature of the vinyl medium. Finally, "Ripe" was shortened by removing the conclusive "(With Decay)" portion of the song."
And afaik there are some nuances to be added to above description, but that's roughly it.

So what the uploader did was merge those 3 release to create one, complete The Fragile, adding as much as possible all the extra notes that were left of the other edition. To make it work he had to fiddle and twiddle and tweak a bit, adjusting sound/volume levels and whatever (I know shit bout all this :P), and that everything fits and flows naturally, and apparently he had most work with the +Appendage track from the cassette (filename is still Appendage (Cleaned Up). The original untouched cassette rip of that track was also added to the upload, but I lost that file.

So this is pretty much the version I got used to. But I've been wondering if it could've been done even better, maybe from an even better vinyl rip (I suppose PBTHAL did this one too? But hell, maybe he did use a rip of his for this, I dunno). Also, these days there's a vinyl source for an extended Appendage on The Fragile: Deviations 1.
HINT! :P
