      Hi guys,

      My ISP lets me have 2 IPs and for certain downloads such as torrents two IPs would be useful to get better speeds especially if my internet speed is not getting close to being maximized.

      If I get one more network card can I set it up as a WAN but also is there a option to only enable that WAN on certain ports?  (aka I don't want to load balance http traffic and have to login twice on each site since it's different IPs)

        Try with a ubuntu torrent, If you don't download with full speed on that it could be your client. For me deluge and torrentflux work better that transmission and vuze does.

        aka I don't want to load balance http traffic and have to login twice on each site since it's different IPs

        you could just load balance torrent traffic. I don't see how you can avoid logging in twice.
