I need Win32 Disk Imager in order to write Raspbian on an SD Card. It seems the place to find that software is Sourceforge, which nowaday can hardly be considered a safe place to download software. Is there another place I can find Win32 Disk Imager, or maybe do youknow an alternative software which could let me do what I need?
