Google Stops Web Accelerator

According to ZDNet, Google has stopped allowing downloads of their Web Accelerator software just days after they began offering it.

Google says it was because they reached capacity.  They said it was a limited beta test for now and that they will work on increasing capacity.  They are denying it was because of concerns expressed around the Web (see our previous story about Google Web Accelerator problems here) about problems and security issues (caching and letting others browse your secure session).
