The Motilal Banarsidass translation of Garuda Purana by J.L. Shastri is an unabridged translation and can be downloaded using the link below or from this answer.
Garuda Purana English - Motilal - 3 Volumes in 1 (PDF, 120 MB)
1184 pages
Vol. 1 begins at page # 1
Vol. 2 begins at page # 429
Vol. 3 begins at page # 839
I was also able to find a free copy of an abridged English translation of Garuda Purana by M.N. Dutt (Manmatha Nath Dutt) at two different places:
Google Books++: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=0Fwxjf4IM78C
Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/garudapuranam00duttgoog
Proofread HTML: http://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/the-garuda-purana-dutt
If you prefer PDF file, it's available via this direct link (32 MB).
++ One advantage with the Google Books format is that it's searchable!

2I think M.N. Dutt's translation is an abridged version. The Motilal Banarsidass translation is a verse-by-verse translation, and I think it's much better. – Keshav Srinivasan Mar 13 '16 at 01:46

Oh ok, I tried clicking on those links in the other answer earlier and none of them seem to work. The page just times out. Maybe we should upload them to archive.org. – Say No To Censorship Mar 13 '16 at 02:09

Yeah, unfortunately the DSpace site is often down. The next time it's up I can download all three volumes and upload them to Google Drive. – Keshav Srinivasan Mar 13 '16 at 03:10

@AnilKumar Thanks! But I get 'Access to the webpage was denied' message when I try to access GP from your answer. – Say No To Censorship Mar 13 '16 at 16:56

@AnilKumar Cannot access Bhagavata Purana also. One way you could test if others can access it is by opening your answer in Chrome Incognito mode and try to download. – Say No To Censorship Mar 13 '16 at 17:24

@sv. I can give you details of this google account in chat. I created it as repository account. – The Destroyer Mar 14 '16 at 02:52

@AnilKumar Thanks for the M.B. tr. of GP. I removed all blank pages at the beginning of each volume and created a new pdf. Let me know if you want it. I was going to upload it and link it in my answer. – Say No To Censorship Mar 19 '16 at 19:24

I don't think the version by Dutt is abridged, as the contents of chapters correspond to the translation by Motilal. It is however, written in Prose. You can find the proofread HTML of the translation by Dutt here: http://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/the-garuda-purana-dutt – Gabe Hiemstra Jul 29 '16 at 11:14
