Multiple simultaneous ISPs

[drwho]

Hello,
Say, for instance, I have a DSL connection and a cable modem connection. I want to be able to use both at once for DC++. No problem with uploads, I can just share out stuff on another DC++ instance. But when downloading, It would be great for both ISPs to be downloading different segments of the file at the same time, and have everything just work.

yes and no, i recomend you to start downloading rar-files. This is been discussed before, search the threads...

This is trivial if you use two connections to the hub, each bound to one NIC - well, except for the working on the same file part. (I don't think DC++ handles multiple NICs too well though). It might be possible to listen on both interfaces and send a the IP of the one that you didn't use to connect in a $ConnectToMe, but if I were a hub writer, I'd flag and deny such requests (to prevent people from using others to DoS a 3rd party).

How's having two connections not a problem for uploads? I don't see it...

Have you searched the RFE forum on Sourceforge yet? If this isn't an entry, you might want to make one. In a couple months, this thread might be really hard to find when someone's earching for a feature to add.
