Using Multiple Internet Connections for Torrent Downloads

Stucked up on a torrent download? Bored of slow internet speed? No worries. Now get your  friends datacards or modems, plug them all to available usb ports, Dial the connections, and your download speed will get a tremendous boost!

If you ever tried connecting two internet connections, you'll notice that the former internet connection goes unusable. Inorder to make use of both internet connection , we need to alter routing table.


Say the 1st internet connection's gateway address is 1.1.1.1(say inet connection A) and 2nd connection's  is 2.2.2.2 (say inet connection B), Our aim is to route traffic from a perticular range of ip addresses (0.0.0.0 to 128.0.0.0) through 1.1.1.1 and rest of ip's (128.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255) through 2.2.2.2.


Procedure:
1. Connect your internets. If you have a faster and a slower connection, see that you connect slower internet 1st.
2. Open cmd and type these commands
 route add 0.0.0.0 mask 128.0.0.0 1.1.1.1 metric 1
3. Now start your torrent downloads, and see if both internet connections are used at ther full speed or no..
If no, then add next set of ip's to internet B
route add 128.0.0.0 mask 128.0.0.0 2.2.2.2 metric 1


Note:
For 3 internet connections, following will be the ip address ranges
~ For ip 0.0.0.0 to 85.255.255.255 its 0.0.0.0 mask 173.0.0.0
~ For ip 86.0.0.0 to 172.255.255.255 its 86.0.0.0 mask 173.0.0.0
~ For ip 173.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 its 173.0.0.0 mask 173.0.0.0
