good part: i think more lan cards wouldnt be required. if its a bus system (like mine). i have earlier, transferred about 400kbps from a person on the local hub, while the internet speed still is "supposed" to be 64kbps... (and its NOT metered, atleast not by my cable-wallah).
bad part: the most that i think of is you "manually" splitting downloads, and asking the second half to go via the friends proxy. i know the solution sucks, but i guess for "transparent" multiple channel, as far as i know the other side (read the cable wallah) too needs to be multiple "aware"... which i really doubt would be allowed, or would happen. any other suggestion, or correction is ofcourse welcome. affly robins On Sun, 2003-11-30 at 13:18, Varun Anand wrote: > hey people > i have a 24 online cable connection at my place. the cable-waalah has capped > the speed at 32kbps. i have a friend who also has subscribed to the same > cable-waalah and are being serviced by the same hub(he lives some 25 ft from > my place). his computer is usually on the whole day and is used to check the > mail only and/or to type some office related documents. so his internet > connection is just there to prevent misuse of the dial-up connection. and > since i am usually downloading something or the other :D i was wondering if > i can double my speed by installing a proxy server s/w at his place and > routing half of my internet traffic thru his comp thereby doubling my > effective speed.
