Download on all network interfaces

Hello

I have console access to a box running Kubuntu 8.04 which has 2 IP addresses so far (it will have more soon). Each IP can download at 1mbps.

My ifconfig output looks like this:

Code:

petru@hell:~$ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:b3:18:5a:73
          inet addr:85.186.92.50  Bcast:85.186.92.127  Mask:255.255.255.128

          RX bytes:88883488 (84.7 MB)  TX bytes:88883488 (84.7 MB)

Now, is there any software, like wget or a torrent client (console), that can download something using specified network interfaces, so I can get a download speed of 2mbps?

Thanks.

This eth0:0 is a virtual IP; its using the same physical NIC as eth0. You can't make it go faster that way.
