First, only D&D Insider subscribers can download issues. However, assuming you are already a member, each issue is compiled into a single PDF after all of the articles for that issue are released, so you typically can't download a PDF of the current issue until the end of the month. Once all of the articles are released, a "Download Complete Issue" link ...

Yes It is absolutely worth subscribing to. I use it instead of getting dead-tree books, due to the frequency of updates and content drops. Pros: easily searchable, pretty convenient compendium.
