its the safest out there
I think you might worry about your isp more,as long as isp don't cooperate with the dark side,most people will be safe.
If you would be using SSL on usenet. Your ISP will know that you are downloading. But will not know what you are downloading.

Your ISP wouldn't care what you're downloading anyways.

From what I've heard it's safe, but I don't know.
Using SSL etc will def make it harder for any one to find out that you are downloading a 'linux OS' but I'm wondering how long before they start hitting Newsgroup Providers now they have dipped their toe into indexing sites.

darknets like Freenet , I2P, and MUTE are even more secure
As of a court ruling just today in the U.S., ISP's can limit, delay, or cut you off if you d/l from somewhere they don't 'like', including completely legal sites that don't pay the ISP 'connect' or 'transfer' charges.
It all came about over torrents, of course, where the ISP's said it was 'within their network management prerogatives' to mess around with the traffic.
That escalated into some ISP's blocking connections to commercial sites that didn't pay the ISP's 'up front' to carry their traffic (to, it must be said, their 'customers' who paid for the connection).
'Double-Dipping'. Now totally legal. 'Network Neutrality' is DEAD.
