I'm looking for a good intro adventure for Savage Worlds. None of my players have played Savage Worlds before and I've only run a couple adventures a long time ago. I've converted a couple adventures from other systems (mainly to get a feel for the system), but none of them are playtested so I don't think I should use any of them as an introduction to the system. So, are there any good introduction adventures I can use? I think sticking to classic fantasy would be best, but I'll take anything at this point. A long adventure/mini-campaign would be fine as we wont be able to start a proper campaign until sometime in March. Any suggestions?

"Against the Orcs!". Basic Fantasysetting with... well Orcs. Shows you how to battle on the individual level, with allies and mass combat. And has a dungeon crawl.
Best. Intro. Ever. 'nuff said...

The new version of Eye Of Kilquato is an excellent warm-up for new players. It showcases all the major mechanics in the game and its fast-paced enough to keep everyone engaged but also allows a lot of roleplaying if you want it. The free tiles and figure flats are awesome as well. The group I run for right now are relatively new Savages and they had a blast with it as their first outing.
On the fantasy front I highly recommend Noble Deceit. It also comes with very cool tiles and figure flats and serves as a good intro as well.
I've ran each of these adventures a few times and they are always fun.

The Terra Ariel - Sci-Fi
Against the Orcs - Fantasy
And if the setting is specific (ask if you want a write-up in english):
Homemade Intro - Warhammer 40k (Inquisition)
Homemade Intro - Star Trek (rogue traders)
Homemade Intro - Pseudo-historical London (Gentlemans club)

I would also say:
Against the orcs - if you want straight fantasy which shows many aspects of SW (mass combat, dungeon crawling, ...)
Eye of the kilquato - if you want to get the pulp style of SW (the pregenerated characters are VERY cool. They offer many chances for great roleplaying  )
There are many other very good free adventures, but those 2 are my favorites. |

Where can I find Against the Orcs? Can it be downloaded somewhere?

Sadly, Against the Orcs is no longer available for download.  , although many Savages have it. 
The top three free adventures that I've had the most fun with are Against the Orcs, Eye of Kilquato, and Jared's Folly/Red Swamp. I haven't run Tomb of Terrors, but I've read several posts on the forums that seem to indicate it is a good adventure.
I'd second Noble Deciet as a good adventure. It has 3 parts that could easily be added to if you want to make them longer. |

This!
I've run this adventure before with Novice players and it was a blast! Definitely use the pregens, as the combination of characters promises to make for an interesting evening of roleplaying. Really, I can't recommend this adventure enough!
