If an image is already placed in Turbo Internet's cache and if the image size is the same, Turbo Internet will not download it to accelerate pre-fetching without slowing your connection. Turbo Internet also features a security tool, SafeNet, to avoid getting hacked; it will filter and check I/O data, just like a hardware firewall.

I later figured out the problem, you have to disable built in ethernet under Network Port Configurations first. When I did that it worked just fine.
Download speeds flactuate though. I am sure fiddling about with it a bit more will give me a more stable speed. 7 to 8k/sec download speed is not bad though.
Great work guys, just try and improve speed stability.

It also does not launch apps. after connecting as the read me states. In short, it does nothing.
The home page says it is now free because of all the criticism for selling a non functioning application. I would also criticize the giving away of a non functioning application as well.
