Re: The ultimate cure for STM

So, just RDP'd into one of my work machines, and tried a quick download.

Wish I had phatpipe at home

Just thought... bonding pipes like that doesn't get you download across all the connections, unless you're using something BitTorrent, which will use multiple connections to download. I.e. downloading some stuff via HTTP or FTP would not be able to be split across all the connections, as not all servers support it (admittedly, rarer these days though). Even then, they'd so connections coming from four IPs, so it'd be up to the download client to reassemble the file cleanly.

Lots of you trying to download will be fine, but using it to do uberfast downloads from say usenet, might result in no speed gain at all, unless the load balancer was clever enough to send multiple connections down multiple pipes.

I've lost track of what point I was making...
