I use network install (any distro, if given the choice) to get the latest version of packages, that's about the only motivation and reason behind it. I don't see any cause for concern over security. For a larger firm where it _is_ a concern, there are plenty of security measures that are already taken care of before any transaction on the WWW.
Rest assured, it is safe, at least very much so for you alone - as an individual. There is always passive FTP: wget --passive-ftp
