Re: Using multiple IP addresses for faster downloads

Hi
As far as I know (and I know a lot about these issues), there is No way to do this with regular hardware and Client OS.
In addition, if there is a "Miracle" way to do so, it is unknown how it might affect the whole Network.
It you need the extra bandwidth for work and IT do Not cooperate then go above them to management to make a case.
If you need extra, Bandwidth to download faster your "personal amusement stuff" then you should think twice before you are trying to destabilize business Network.

Thanks all!

I didn't get why it's impossible. Firstly, we don't have two NICs on
the server. There's only one NIC, which is assigned several IP
addresses. If there were some "download manager," which we could set
its "Source IP address" per each download, on the return path, the
"limiter" would find that different "sources" are downloading files.
It wouldn't detect that these different IP addresses correspond to the
same NIC (or better said, correspond to the same MAC address). At the
routing level, only different IP addresses are important; the router
does not investigate MAC addresses. Right?

Unfortunately, the net admin does not undesrtand that a network is NOT
a homogeneous set of computers. We've described this for him before,
but he does not accept to allocate more bandwidth for servers. Too
lazy is he!

So, any other ideas?
