Bridging Two DSL Connections?

[Guest]

I have windows xp pro sp2. I just bought two 256kbps DSL connections because
my ISP doesn't give 512kbps unlimited. I tried bridging. It bridges but I
only one of the connections is getting utilised.

Is bridging even possible for Internet Connections?

P.S. The connections are through 2 routers having ethernet and USB output
each.

There are several routers which will combine the 2 DSL signals into one
constant higher speed connection.

Doesn't bridging do the job? If not, can you please guide me the steps I must
take and the purchase involved in doing so?

Thanks a lot!

You need a load balancing router to utilities the 2 connections for maximum
throughput. See this link for some general info and a list of products.

Thanks a lot for the information.

That's one way I can use DAP to download files faster. Now can other
softwares also use it. Atleast can I configure software a(bitcomet) to
download from one connection and software b(azereus) from the other
connection?

Thanks!

If I understand your question correctly, I believe if you were using the 2
programs on different workstations, the load balancing router would use the
2 different connections. I think if you ran them on the same workstation
that wouldn't be the case.

Well, they are on the same computer. Ok, now I want them to work
simultaneously.

Example: Use one of the connections to browse and http downloads and the
other for a software BitComet (torrents).

Thanks!
