Is there a legitimate way to get the weights to actually use this without filling in forms?

You can use OpenLLaMA models (Apache 2.0 license, unrelated to LLaMA apart from their architecture and general approach to training):

Not if you want the original LLAMA weights, but now there are other models like RedPajama available.

There’s a torrent linked in the Llama.cpp docs, it’s in a merge request on the LLaMA repo. Has all the files.

It's almost (or actually is) a "pirated" torrent. So it might not be "legitimate".

The best model currently is Falcon

No

They come a dime a dozen on HuggingFace, check out https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/wiki/models for a few options

Are these done as LLaMA deltas still? I.e. do I need to apply a patch to LLaMA, and so I still need to source LLaMA?

[Tostino]

Most of them are merged models, so you don't need the base model.

It's stupidly simple to get going.
