Did that... in fact, just one minute ago, I powered up the Opera,
click on the "Tools" --- "Delete Private Data" thing to delete all the
private data, cookie, cache, and then test downloading from

The download started with 15KB/s, then 14, then 10, then 8, then 3,
then 1.8, then 0.3, then a "?"

Download dead again.

Hmmmmm......... !
