2nd broadband line for Bittorrent

[SATA12]

I'm thinking of getting a second bband line for Bittorrent.

Some of the torrents out there are very slow, so they depend more on time rather than bandwidth (they can't use the available bandwidth anyway).

One plan I'm considering is the BSNL Unlimited 900 (for 256kbps at 900 rs/mo).

That totals to about 25-30 KB/s, 87MB/hour, 2GB/day, and 60GB/month.

Any thoughts regarding this plan?

I have dual Ethernet , and I figure I'll do browsing on one connection (2Mbps), and Bittorrent on the unlimited connection.

Don't know if that'll work, though.

correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think you can assign specific applications to utilise different broadband connections on 1 PC at any given time. that's not what the dual ethernet ports are for.

what dual ethernet ports are useful for would be for teaming connections i.e. combining bandwidth of 2 different broadband connections on 1 PC.

btw, u'll prob get better response and advice if you post in the Networking section.

If i'm not wrong, windows xp/vista doesn't have support for multiwan routing or bandwidth aggregation. Either you need a hardware solution like a multi-wan router (either a dedicated h/w or one build on a linux platform) of some software solutions.
NAT32 is one such software solution that claims of doing so, it is priced one and a home edition can set you back by $25. Still how usefull it will be on a P2P network where you keep fetching from multiple ips is in question.
Sometime back super_saiyan had enquired on similar thing, don't know if he was able to set it right.
