Kind of off topic:

Is there a secure way to download PuTTY? They are hosting on a http page. Though they provide RSA and DSA signatures how would I verify the signatures themselves? I'm kind of new to walking through trust paths. I don't even have any entry point too since nobody I know use public key encryption (I trust the Debian keys already though since I use their distro, maybe I can use that for a starting point?).

My best bet would be to download the signatures and keys from different mirrors and sources to limit the possibility of a successful targeted MITM attack.
