I know this is totally possible via Linux (and have done the same also) but I want to know if there is a solution in Windows.

What I want to achive?

As many of you must be aware, Sify has 2 kind of unlimited connections:

256/256 up/down but 150 MB limit during day and for each extra 25MB used, 1 day validity is deducted.

64/256 up/down without any limitations.

Speeds are as promised but just that the limitation hurts bad.

So i was planning to take a 64/128 unlimited connection which I would use for 24x7 downloading (and also not affecting pings and access times while I browse and stuff) and a 256/256 connection which I would use for gaming/browsing/etc/etc (or maybe a 128/128.) Now the situation is so bad that even if I am loading a page in Firefox, I cannot voice chat because the upstream gets used.

So is it possible to route Torrent traffic (used as an example) through one connection and all else throught the other connection (again as example.)

I am sure there must be something which allows this, but am not sure what that is....

oie, why do you wanna waste money on multiple connections.....take a single 256 connection (or the fastest you can afford after poooling in the money for both the connections you plan to take;), and just cap your torrent app to use say 160 or whatever...

I use a 256(?)/256-512 (day-night) connection split branched out to multiple machines...One machine (Mac running OS X 10.4.6) works as the 24X7 download machine running Azureus...

I have created a simple script that toggles the download speed cap on Azureus..So when I am home, and need to browse/chat/whatever, I click on the script, and it caps Azureus to 150/400 (depending on the time of the day)

And when I am done, I click on the script again, and it toggles the cap back to off :D

As for the script, I used Automator on OS X to create it, I am sure you or any code geek friend of yours shgould be able to do that for you on Windows...
 
hey, thanks for the suggestion but i request you to read OP again.... .i dont have such liberty. THERE is a 150 MB limit per day on the 256/256 connection and on the unlimited one, there is a 64 k"b"ps cap. No amount of throttoling will help me.

Neways, games (online) require upwards of 40kbps upstream, so i cant really use torrents then can i?

update:

hey guys,

i found this option inside Azureus.... WIll it help somewhat?



Since I will get different IPs for the diff connections (from sify), will I be able to get away by binding the 128/64 ip to azureus (the sole purpose of the 128/64 connection is constant downloading.)

Karan
 
oh...why not....Keep that 64/256...

Throttle upstream bandwidth on torrent to say 10kbps or so when youa re gaming ...Remove throttle when done..USe a script to keep the process user-friendly...

I know thats not being courteous to fellow downloaders, but you can perhaps keep seeding for longer than ususal when done to make up for it :P

Worst case scenario, you get slower downloads while gaming (coz of the small upstream bandwidth, but I suppose you wouldn't game more than 20% of the time ina day, so the remaining 80% of the time, your download speeds wouldn't suffer too

You would bind Azureus to say NIC 1 that way ..Though I am not aware of any method to bind the rest of your network traffic to the other IP (NIC 2)..perhaps someone else could help here

Quick question, OP says 64/256 unlimited, but later says 64/128 unlimited...which one is correct?

Both are correct.... just that 256/64 is 1100 bucks.... and 128/64 is 700.
 
Using IPTables u routed the traffic ??

But how did u allow the apps to reach out through a specific Interface/Ethernet port ??

Can u give an idea about the rules u wrote ??

U can bind an app to an IP, but with IPTables u can route the traffic to the proper Ethernet ports. But then it has to be set on the router if all traffic is coming to an central outer interface.

In ur case the traffic is already seperated as they are using diff IP's in their headers.

U can easily bind the torrent app to one interface and set your browser to use the other interface.
