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... |
Making multiple connections throgh the balancer would surely balance them across connections? In which case, make 10 threads with Usenet client...
Balancer see's these, and sends 2 per modem...
As for HTTP Downloads, use a download manager. I use 4-8 connections depending
(Also, works connection tops out at 9MB/s, more when they enable the backup line)
