Different programs on different ethernet cables?

[simara.dulezite]

Hi guys,
is it possible to use two ethernet cables at the same times, and set "Hey torrent, you will use eth0! Hey Chrome, you will use eth1!"?
Thanks a lot

Anything is possible with more$$ and know-how.

Browse the threads for 2 ISP 1 PC or something in that grain.

In the perchance that you have one 1 ISP, having multiple ethernet ports/cable doesn't do anything as everything eventually is bottled-heck by the single ISP.

List your hardware specs.

It honestly won't make a huge amount of different, if you have a decent broadband speed and a modem/router and motherboard that handles gig ethernet you shouldn't have any bottleneck problems, no need to try and use 2 ethernets on 1 pc as you won't see any speed boosts. If you have a 100mb line from your ISP that's your total bandwidth, you won't get 100mb via each ethernet connected to your pc unless you pay your ISP for 2 lines (then might as well pay for a faster single connection).

Yes, but bittorrent is a bad example. You can use this to guarantee LAN speeds for specific services or to get a 10G link to something. A bond would be easier to manage if your switch has lots of ports and supports it. some things are best on their own subnet.

If you had a local file server and wanted it's traffic on a dedicated line then you could add an interface and create a static route for the subnet.
