Question

Splitting download over 2 connections

Asked by: daky

I got LIMIT (dl+upload) = 2GBytes per month. So, I want to reduce downloading/uploading by cutting (splitting) transfer on two different connections which use two different dynamiclly assigned IP addresses! ADSL over PPPoE and ISDN 128k

For example... if I dl AVI movie of 3 mb: my ISDN connection WILL download in 1 minute about 1Mb, and my DSL will dl about 2Mb in 1 minute.. instead of all DSL downloading whole 3Mbs... got it?

Both ISDN and ADSL connections are provided by same ISP, and I do not have any routers in front of my workstation. Workstation is connected directly to ADSL modem over PPPoE!

I thought also, there are speed accelerator downloads... like DAP... it uses different sources for DL... so, it SHOULD be possible to assign different connections to different sources... that would significatly reduce my LIMIT...

Thank you!!

This Q is rated extremely difficult and I will accept good answer, however if answer is simply "No" or "It is not possible", I'll have to delete the question.

I'm really sorry, but "It just can't be done" is a valid answer, and it is the one I'm going to give you now...

I suggest you to get a faster DSL connection (without a 2GB download limit)

Greetings,

LucF

No such thing in such a pathetic country like Croatia. In whole country there are ~1000 users of that slow ADSL and we are sooooo happy to have it... no cable, no sdsl, no flatrate. Have another comment?

Wow, I'll keep that in mind for the future SysExpert

Channel bonding doesn't work, either DSL connects and ISDN can't or ISDN connects but DSL can't. It says some error that connection was closed by remote computer... the funny thing is that when connecting over ISDN, when it connects, it shows first verifying password and then it shows registering computer on the network.. and then it breaks up... i might try to connect to different ISP with ISDN...

im willing to try every else possible option!

Not quite sure what you are asking.. probably me...  but why don't you get a second DSL connection or broaden the bandwidth of the current one...  then get yourself a Dual Wan Router that allows for bandwidth throttling...  

We use one of these now connected to both cable and Dsl..  provides extreme speeds up and down.. more like a T1+....

If this sounds intriqueing... ck out this link:

Bonding won't work - both sides have to negotiate it..

afaik, the dual-wan soho router's don't aggregate bandwidth, they use round-robin or other metrics like congestion, utilization, session, etc, but each session uses one path.

bgp too doesn't aggregate bandwidth...

 DAP is interesting because it uses the resume feature of http and rsync feature of FTP to open multiple connections to overcome bandwidth metering on the server.
A router with mutilple equal cost paths will use them round robin (windoze will not, it uses the first one till it's dead).
You might be able to use DAP if your router round-robin'ed your connections..

so you say that under windows XP pro operating system it is not possible to do such a thing? as i said before, i do not have a router in front of me, the workstation is directly connected to the adsl modem, and adsl modem to DSLAM...

 

by: New_MatrixPosted on 2004-02-24 at 05:51:37ID: 10440701

hi there
if u got both connections to work at the same time, i might have an idea that could help
use NetLimiter ( http://www.netlimiter.com/ ) and within the configuration specify how much each NIC/Modem should use of ur bandwidth
say, the ISDN will have 10Kbps and the DSL will have 3Kbps

i hope that works

cheers
