The downloads are from Digital River (which is nothing to do with Digital Life) - they are the official download source for all MS-backed OS's, and are very safe.
If you find that your download is coming from a site other than digitalriver.com, I suggest that you abort it and try another link.

I just used an ISO from Digital River that was an updated Windows 7 Home Premium with SP1 so I could format C: and do a clean install without waiting for Windows Update to wade through all the required updates. I burned the ISO then used it for the clean install and used my Win 7 key from my purchased DVD and activated it with no problems...
As previously stated in an above reply Digital River is official and their downloads are virus and error free!
Use with confidence...

As has been stated, the downloads from My Digital Life are safe. The downloads are official Windows 7 ISO's. I have used them several times with no problem. In fact, I used one yesterday to install Windows 7.
