I recently found a website that has pirated books. I'm wondering if it is legal to download them since they are not copyrighted materials?

Generally no, it is not legal to download pirated books from websites as they are protected by copyright laws. Copyright law applies to any kind of media, including books, and this means that anyone who publishes a book or other work must register their copyright with the copyright office in order for their work to be protected. Any copied materials should have an "®" sign next to it to indicate that they are protected under copyright laws.  This website may be breaking the law by making these materials available without permission from the rightful owners/publishers. It is important to respect authors' rights and only purchase or legally obtain books if you would like copies. Additionally, downloading pirated material can put your own computer and personal information at risk of being affected by viruses or malicious software.
