According to this article on Netcraft, it may look like Opera download request are sometimes chocked on datapipes in the US area. 
All of our own download servers are still running fine, but there may be bottlenecks on the route from your network area to our server network, so I recommend everyone to try a local mirror if you have problems reaching our site - we have plenty of top quality mirror partners spread all over the world - they are all ready to serve you.
Also, if you have a good server on a good pipe and would like to be an official Opera Mirror Partner, you can read more about the technical details and apply for registration here. We are especially looking for more mirrors in the USA and Asia areas.
Finally a big thanks to all of our mirror partners for all the help you have given us with Opera distribution, both on this release but also for all the daily downloads you have provided for us in all this years - many many thanks for your excellent mirroring support!
