Recently, I've been informed that the website "Trainz Land" is a unreliable website for finding missing dependencies, and I wanted to know if there is any other websites that don't use pirated stuff for finding missing dependencies? Additional question, does installing stuff from "Trainz Land" have any impacts on the game (blurry textures, etc)?
What are some reliable websites or sources for finding missing dependencies?

There are no sites like the one you're talking about in the world. There's only the original, which is the N3V-Auran Download Station (DLS).
This Eastern European site hosts both free and paid content without the authors' permission. It's a kind of DLS, but without the authors' permission, like a pirate site.
If you want to download from that site, you need to register and provide an email address.
Do you think it's a good idea to give your email address to an Eastern European website?
As for searching for kuids, it's a never-ending task, as there are hundreds of websites around the world, and what's worse, many of them are closing, and this has been happening since the beginning of Trainz.
When an author uploads their content to the DLS, in theory they are the author and owner, but in practice, the rights to those objects belong to N3V-Auran, and they can create paid content with them. This is why some authors don't upload their content to the DLS, preferring to pay for a website and maintain it that way. The problem arises over time when paying monthly or yearly for website maintenance, as well as potential health problems, lead some sites to be abandoned.
These circumstances lead to unknown kuids. A few years ago, a route creator downloaded content from one of these defunct websites, incorporated it into a route, and when he finished it and uploaded it to the DLS, problems arise for those who download these routes.
I've been downloading from trainz websites around the world for 20 years, and I assure you I have several thousand unknown kuids. You'll almost never be able to get all the unknown kuids.

indeed.
the "site that shall not be named" is not even close to the lowest level or reliable. I've snooped around there a couple of times. Found ale_beer's old mars route there once, and drummond mountain railway, after a few of attempts to give your computer a virus with a McAfee (most annoying antivirus btw) popup, your best bet is to not go there. I've also found the old jr f7s, some which can be found on the erecting hall, and also heard some rumor about some paulz trainz assets on there. If they legally paid for the assets or asked a trainz android user (who somehow learned what payware is) to send the assets to them is unknown

R the site that shall not be named is more or less, just as reliable as someone who asks a toddler to keep secrets. It's not reliable.WestSideRailways

The way I look at it, is if not on the DLS or a members webpage, that forget about it and use something else. Not worth the hassle.
Thanks for the ongoing support, leaving those that never had the chance to download those "well managed" objects on a dead end track.
Package manager websites, such as NuGet for .NET libraries, npm for JavaScript modules, PyPI for Python packages, and Maven Central for Java dependencies, are excellent starting points. For system libraries and software dependencies, websites like DLL-files.com, Microsoft’s official support site, and Linux package repositories (like Ubuntu’s APT or Red Hat’s YUM) can be valuable.
