i have a peice of software called flashget
it downloads files in multiple threads to speed up the download

well i have a unique situation....i have 2 lines(ameritech dsl and at&t cable) and thus i also have 2 gateways. flashget only seems to want to use 1 at a time
i need software that will be able to do the same as flashget only use multiple gateways
has anyone heard of such software

I use DAP every once in a while...dunno if it'll do what you want thogh. It's worth a shot if you haven't heard of it. Just go to http://www.downloads.com and type in "DAP" It should be the first one that pops up.

i downloaded dap and it turns out to be the biggest POS i ever seen
it loaded my system with spyware and it kept trying to download ads
i uninstalled it, it wasnt even capable of what i asked
but it was worth a shot thanx for trying

i've never heard of software for this except proprietary stuff for the 56k modem "shotgun" technology (using 2 phone lines connected to the same ISP). using 2 different providers with 2 different IP's...i doubt you'll be able to get it to work since the sites you download from will see it as 2 separate downloads as well, so getting it to split it up properly and rejoin on your pc would be tricky.

http files are capable of being downloaded in chunks
