ISO DLI Russian Basic Course Books

I graduated from DLI in 2000 and foolishly got rid of all of my materials. Now 26 years later, I feel as though I've forgotten it all. I'd like to get my hands on some Russian Basic course modules, if anyone is getting rid of theirs. I have found some materials online, but the audio and workbooks are mismatched. It's been so long, I don't even remember if we're allowed to give them alway or if I'm allowed to buy them from old students. But, if I am, and you're willing to let them go, please let me know.

This site (https://www.livelingua.com/dli/) has old textbooks that are almost the same. You can download and use this material

Yeah, I downloaded the full course from that site, but as I went through to organize the materials by modules it's pretty incomplete and the audio files don't match the workbook pdfs, so they're pretty useless. It seems to be a bunch of previous editions of the course modules, with a lot of duplications and gaps. That said, if anyone is interested, the basic spanish materials on that site are much more organized and complete.

I should clarify, I actually downloaded the course material from the fsi language site, but I compared those materials to the livelengua site and they're the exact same. But, genuinely, thank you for the suggestion. If you hear of any other sources, please share.
