Safe place for download

Afternoon:

I know this may sound inane, but could anyone direct me to a site where I could safely D/L a Ubuntu/Linux O.S. (.iso). I'm having so much trouble with LM17 (before that it was Ub12.04) and someone suggested a corrupted O.S. Just F.Y.I., I downloaded from LinuxMint homepage. Used Unetbootin to 'load" to USB pendrive. (could there be a problem in that?) This has been a problem far too long( problems constantly within both LM17 and Ub12.04). I'd like to be able to use Ubuntu/Linux but in order to do so, I have to get the O.S. working correctly. I'm seeking someone with extensive/experienced expertise(no offence to anyone intended) with Linux O.S's, PLEASE!!! [HP2000-210...LM17 Cinnamon 64bit]
Thank you:
Rick
