Yeah, they do have a forum where you may find better direct download links, but you need to sign up and sign-ups are locked and only unlock once a month or so.

They also have a torrent-specific site but that one also requires an account and is pretty much always locked from what I’ve seen.

I haven’t gone there in a while, but a good few years ago I found cgpersia whoch which had a whole bunch of tutorials and asset packs.

Don’t know if they’re still reliable though.

These last two comments seem to point that way:
