From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can download it over http and check the SHA256SUMS.
Or better yet torrent it and check the same sha256
I can't remember if it was always like that or not, but all the apt repos are the same. No SSL and verification via signing.
Apt repos are like that for several reasons, one of which is that it allows DNS based mirroring without having to share a certificate. Another is that back when apt started out, HTTPS was pretty rare.
It's the download link on the fort page of debian.org. Has it always been like that.
