Hi Sten, Ahh.. well that will be something for me to look into then. Give me a starting point anyway. Don't suppose you've had experience doing it in PF? ;-) Now here is what I don't get We have 5x512=2560kbps (note: each line has a seperate IP address, same provider though). We want to download a file over HTTP Browser sends "GET /path/to/file HTTP/1.1", etc.. from IP1 And Web server sends headers and file contents back to IP1 and since IP1 is only a 512kbps line, it would seem to me that it wouldn't be possible to achieve anything higher than 512kbps or attempt to incorporate any of the other lines into the transfer because that would just confuse the server. My only thought was that if you received over a proxy (or used a download manager with segmentation features, like that horrible windows program GetRight) and the proxy would get the file size, divide it into how many lines/ips I had (in this case, 5) and then ask for bytes 0 -> first part, and start concurrent connections for first part -> second part, third -> forth, etc. In a similar way that a resume would work.. Does this make sense? Or is there an extremely easier way of doing things that I just wasn't aware of yet? Look forward to hearing some responses...
