There is nothing to be worried about... in fact it is done so you need to be even less worried then before.... Like Patchou said, these days you never know what you have in your hands when you download something from the net. Is it tampered with? Is it modified? Is there a virus attached to it? etc... etc... With digital signing, the author puts a kind of signature under his package which will be checked automaticly. If anything has been modified, the signature will be invalid. So in that way you will know 100% sure, that you have a full legit unmodified version....
