There are none and we cannot mention any even if we knew of such a site as the moderators would remove such links. You need to review the forums Terms of Use you agreed to for posting here.

@Servant of Cats provided the correct answer for you to locate the appropriate used physical DVD. And you need to review @PreCognition's post because not all of the physical OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard DVDs will work. Which DVD(s) will work with your specific Mac depends on the exact model of your Mac. You can get the exact model by clicking the Apple icon and selecting "About This Mac". For some Macs you may be able to use the Apple check coverage page to get the exact model of your Mac.

Apple has never offered a digital download of any of the OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard installers. Apple has only ever posted OSX 10.6 update patches online. Apple has only ever provided digital downloads of the macOS 10.7+ installers with only some of the still available to download directly from Apple.

These answers you have been given are about all you can expect to receive here. Asking over & over will not change the result except perhaps to have this thread removed by the forum moderators.
If you provide details on the exact model of your Mac and what you hope to accomplish with OS X 10.6 & this Mac as suggested by @PreCognition, then perhaps we can offer you some other alternatives to achieve your goal. You may be focused on the wrong problem here.

There isn’t an Apple-provided download of the full Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard installer that I’d point you to. Apple still hosts Snow Leopard updates, including 10.6.8, but those require Snow Leopard to already be installed.
Apple’s Snow Leopard downloads are here: Mac OS X 10.6 Manuals and Downloads - Apple Support
I wouldn’t call a third-party copy of the full installer “trustable,” since there’s no good way to know whether the image has been modified.
If you’re trying to install 10.6 on a particular Mac, what exact Mac model and year is it? That matters because not every Snow Leopard installer will boot every Snow Leopard-era Mac.

If you already know the answer, why are you asking the question?
, but what site is trustable for online download of it. I know it is possible. Thank you.
You might be able to purchase a legitimate copy of the Mac OS X 10.6 retail DVD kit second-hand, on one of the electronic flea marketplaces.
