Good Evening Robogo
First, I apologise for a typo in my reply to your thread. It was meant to read "replies are really not constructive on this", I have now updated the post to reflect this. As in my reply, the non constructive nature of your posts is the reason for it being closed. Note, the thread was
not removed, simply closed to prevent further degeneration of the topic into a flame war.
In regards to listing English sites, I listed sites that I
knew, as was stated in the list when I said " to name a few that I know". It was not a comprehensive list of legitimate 3rd party websites, nor should it be read as such. It was simply a list of
examples that I personally knew about.
You have never actually stated the websites from which you downloaded these items. In reality saying "search for them yourself"
does make them sound non-legitimate. It's not to say they aren't legitimate, just that it
sounds non legitimate, which is what I was saying in my reply.
As in my original reply:
Your original post seemed to read as if you were suggesting that users make use of non legitimate 3rd party websites.
The 'hush hush' manner in which you're posts were written also increased the feeling that you wanted users to make use of non legitimate websites (particularly your unwillingness to share website links).
Please read the above fully, and you will hopefully understand why you have received the replies/messages that you have regarding this.
For the link to the thread, simply do a search for my username ( Zec Murphy ) with only the Russian forum selected. Or follow the following link:

There's about 5 pages, and you will need to use a translator if you are unable to read the language in the posts.
Saying things like "there are websites that can be found via google that have many popular routes, with all dependencies, for download" is not really a good way of saying it. The 'popular routes' could mean a payware route, or a route that was on the DLS, including dependencies that may be payware. Or it could mean, as in your thread, popular European routes that are only available from that location. In the first case, it is not considered legitimate
unless the creator has given permission. In the second case, this is perfectly legitimate (so long as permission has been given for all items to be hosted in the pack).
Again, I will be closing this thread. This is not to stop freespeach. It is to ensure that this does not degenerate into a flamewar, which could in fact end in users either receiving infringements, or bans.
As a warning, any further threads on this will be closed, and likely removed. If you create any further threads on this, you will receive an infringement. Please remember that you do agree to abide by the Code of Conduct by using our forums.
