Thread: Combine two Wifi Connections or A Wifi and Ethernet or more for fast torrenting ;)

You wanna get your self Two/Three/Four etc. Wireless Cards or LAN cards, A Static Connection and a Wireless Connection Or a mixed combination OR there's software called VirtualWifi, allowing connection to more than one wifi network through only one card, however I am not sure how to set that up yet.

Getting the Ip Address's of these Network Adapters is simple.
Going to Start, Run and then typing 'Cmd' no quotes
then typing 'Ipconfig /all'
it will list all devices and various other shit like Dns and Mac Address, you want the IPv4 address.
normally something standard like 192.168.1.55 for example



Find the ones that correspond to your Network Adapters.

Now your going to need Azureus, get into your options,
then browse over to Connection, then Advanced Network Settings,
The screen below show's clearly how to configure your settings.



I hope this helps someone in configuring this,
My 3rd post so :)

Does this really work? Ethernet cards generally allow for 10 mbps, so unless your isp is godlike and you got a million seeds, I can't see how this could help. I could definitely be wrong though

Im going to have to agree with the above post it seems like you would be limited to the same connection speed

Has anyone tried it yet?

This wont work. It could help on your own local network. But I doubt it. As far as torrenting, Your still only gonna hit your max up speed. Thats if the swarm can handle the speed. Just cuz you have a wicked up speed doesnt mean you will max it out. If you up at 1 mbs and the user connected can only down load at 700kbs you will only upload at 700kbs.

not sure how this would work because i always thought that windows could only handle 1 internet connection. What he is talking about though is simultaneous connections to DIFFERENT wireless networks. lets say you live in a crowd metro area and you have 3 unsecured wifi networks that you can connect to. Get three wifi cards and connect to three different connections. Ive never tried it before because i could never get the virtualwifi to work(in my defense virtualwifi is a project of microsoft so it inherently sucks)I have a wifi card and wired lan connection so i might try this and see if it works.

you will only be able to test it that way if your LAN is coming from a different internet access point than your wifi; otherwise you will obviously still be limited to your isp's bandwith.

I believe this can only work if your torrent client is made for it. Because, it would require that everything is send to/from 2 different ip's. So you got incoming packages on 2 different lines and outgoing requests on 2 different lines. In other people's clients you would appear to be 2 different peers with each a different ip, so somewhere in this process, something must regulate the whole thing so that you don't get too much duplicate packages and if the one connection is maxed out, it should try to use the other one more. (I'm no ict specialist, but this is just my reasoning :D )
But maybe that's what that azureus setting would be doing?

if you take a look at the screenshot it says the first ip will be used for all services the rest will be used for load balancing. So it seems only one ip address can be used.
