To the OP, you'll prob find that there's some persistance on your MAC address that's keeping you to one WAN port.
I'd personnally look to do port specific load balancing, and enabling QoS.
Say one connection for port 80/443/53 etc... and another for the likes of downloading via torrent / webserve.
I don't think mutlitreaded applications will not benefit from dual wans anymore than a singletreaded application would. Threads are CPU related only.

Some download managers refer to each connection/segment as a thread, what I actually ment by multithreaded applications is software that uses more than 1 connection between the client and the server not applications that can run multiple threads on the cpu
I now have a dell Gx240 p4 1.6 with 256mb ram and a 4GB hdd (I had a 4gb and a 40gb ide drives spare and thought i'd try the 4gb as PFsense doesnt need much space) PFsense
It's not fully setup atm so no idea how it performs (fitted the HDD and installed pfsense but haven't gotten around to actually installing it in the network yet, will prob have to wait till the weekend for that to happen.
Then a couple weeks more till I can setup the load balancing (Line goes in next week but haven't even orderd the Broadband on it yet)
