Answer» Hi to every one No you can't do that. You can if you use a router with dual WAN ports and load balancing, and the right download software. No.Actually, I have seen it done at an ISPs central office. However, it used a $75,000 router to do it. I don't think that's the solution the OP is looking for.What you can do with a 2 port router is use the connections for redundancy, or per destination sharing. I don't know what the technical term for it is, but to do this on a Cisco router with two WAN connections, you'd use Cisco Express FORWARDING, and it offers per packet and per destination. That means if, USING a BROWSER, you download a file from a website, it will max out one connection and the other will be idle. Now if you download another file, it will use the second connection. It works this way because web browsers use a single connection to grab the file and the router can't split that connection between the two WAN links. If you use a download manager, they usually use more than one, so that would allow you to use both connections. In fact using something like Curl you could segement the download. Apps like BitTorrent also work this way. Unfortunately, there's no way to bond the upstream connections because each connection will have its own IP. Basically, it's not usually worth the effort to set it up this way unless you're doing it for redundancy. Maybe if you're constantly downloading huge files that max out your connection.
