AFAIK, there is DiskDirW plugin that offers Unicode support.

As MVV said, there is DiskDirW which produces UTF-8 files
with or without BOM marker.

Thats your personal problem, you will miss a lot of usefull plugins.
Most users here are downloading from this site.
Ghislers site doesn't have many plugins.

The official TC plugin site only lists plugins and tools which have been verified by Ghisler (or someone he trusts). Since such verification takes a lot of time - for Ghisler and the plugin author, only a small fraction of all plugins are available via the TC homepage. Now, this doesn't mean that downloads via an unofficial site are any worse than those offered via the official site, but it's up to the user to check if the plugins work as expected and don't do anything bad.

And, since it's necessary for plugin authors to create an account on totalcmd.net if they intend to upload files there, it's not very likely that it would spread malware or anything like that. Should that happen, I'm pretty sure that it would be taken down pretty fast.

In other words: I wouldn't worry too much about downloading plugins from totalcmd.net. I can't speak to the other unofficial sites, though.

BTW this site is mentioned on the plugins page at official site:
More plugins can be found on the unofficial plugins site totalcmd.net. This site is independent from us and also hosts new and beta plugins.

just rewrite in url replace wincmd.ru by totalcmd.net i.e
-- edited adding sample
http://progman13.wincmd.ru/downloads/wcx_DiskDirW_1.2.4.zip -> http://progman13.totalcmd.net/downloads/wcx_DiskDirW_1.2.4.zip

I use redirector in firefox it works like a charm for this kind of stuff. The same on Chrome have issue for downloads...
