in my country only uploading is illegal, not downloading so not necessarily.

What matters is the laws in the location of the server and/or the person who owns the domain and runs the site.

And the terms explicitly state which location whose laws it believes they fall under:

The website and the agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Republic of Finland Suomen
