Opera Turbo is a new server-side optimization and compression technology that provides significant improvements in browsing speeds over limited-bandwidth connections by compressing network traffic. This does not only make you surf faster, but also lowers the cost of browsing when you are on a pay per usage plan.

Today Opera team has released a preview version of Opera 10 which contains this new "Opera Turbo" technology. When turned on, Opera Turbo will display the average compression rate. Hover your mouse over the Opera Turbo icon to see a tooltip with the amount of bandwidth saved as long as it has been enabled.

Please note that its an Alpha version and you should only use it for testing purposes.

You can download it using following links:

Opera Turbo for Windows

    Actually, Opera is fast without turbo. Turbo is intended for people in extremely low bandwidth situations, such as on a phone connection. The Opera "Turbo" release actually includes fixes for other problems in the Opera snapshots, such as Vimeo support, etc.
    Opera Alpha 10 is up to 30% faster than Opera 9, which is already, according to 3rd party tests, the fastest browser by far.
