Current Events > Fellow IT CEmen, is there a way to use two internet connections, simultaneously?

(+) Yeah! (+)

80/80

I'm using my phone as a USB tether to my computer to download a steam game at 2 MB/s. In the meantime I'd like to use my home's wifi to stream something. Can this be accomplished?

@BlazinBlue88 may know

I remember using something like IDM (internet download manager) for something like this but that was years ago

certain applications have proxy settings; i'd look into that first (particularly if steam allows it).

for instance, torrenting software like azureus/vuze has the configuration in the networking settings, while for the likes of google chrome, it would need to be specified as a command line argument.

i set my router to block all direct internet access for my windows rig (and thus block windows update) except via chrome, which is configured to access the internet through a proxy tunnel running on my linux box. so in a sense/summary it's two simultaneous connections to the internet, except one is blocked.

I know certain routers can do this. Not sure if theres a way in windows to do it if your router isnt already doing that for it
