IMarvinTPA Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi, Does anybody know of any BitTorrent clients that can effectively use a computer that has two net connections? I have DSL and Cable Modem, and it would be nice to hook up to both of them.It would look a little strange to the outside world as there would be two IPs and effectively two more users in the swarm, but the single client would download the parts only once between the two connections.I anticipate a "No", but it would be otherwise, pretty darn cool.If there are none, I'll repost this as a request in the Feature Request forum.(Both connections use their own routers and both support uPNP.)The DSL supports faster speeds, Cable Modem supports port 80.IMarv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 There aren't any clients that can effectively do it.Each connection needs to announce, and each connection needs to be able to accept incoming connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMarvinTPA Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'm not surprised.I want one client that pulls double-time on a computer with two NICs and acts as two in the wild but internally is working on one torrent. Am I making sense?IMarv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 You're making sense.And it has already been asked about in #bittorrent on freenode.And it requires what I've mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMarvinTPA Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Somewhere on my que, I need to add "Learn network programming, learn an Open Source BitTorrent client, Add this feature."I doubt I'll be the last to ask too. But I'm satisfied that I shouldn't waste my day looking for it.IMarv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewldude607 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Could you try a load balancing router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 No. A load balancing router wouldn't provide the proper announces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 If you were trying to get a REALLY big torrent with lots of files in it, you could run 2 copies of µTorrent -- listening on 2 separate ports, 1 bound to 1 connection and 1 bound to the other. Tell the 1st to not download half the files, tell the 2nd to not download the other half. Let them run till nearly complete, then either copy the files manually and/or have them both try to download all the files and hope they see each other in the torrent swarm (I think you can enter ips for the torrent).It'd be an interesting experiment and could probably be made at least vaguely useful with some work.But if all you wanted to do is seed quickly, just download torrents on the faster of the 2 connections then when done seed with both connections using multiple bittorrent programs.

IMarvinTPA Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 The simplest idea that might work that I can come up with is to have one computer on one ISP, another computer on the other ISP, and both of those computers X-over cabled with some odd internal network configuration. Then start up both on the same torrent and tell uTorrent a specific internal IP address to one of them and let them talk to each other directly. The hard part may be telling them not to give up on each other. (A force do-not-snub to this peer option.)IMarv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
