You can get the .deb from http://www.linuxberg.com.
For example :
http://uunetnl.linux.tucows.com/x11html/adnload/49916_47779.html ->
http://uunetnl.linux.tucows.com/files/opera-static_4.0-0beta3_i386.deb

But see the URL first because there are 2 versions (and why does
Netscape load the .deb instead of downloading it automaticly ?)
