    I wonder how to configure my load balancer to use all available bandwith for uploads and downloads.
    WAN1: 2500/512
    WAN2: 2000/256

      You can either:
      maximize download
      maximize upload.

      To maximize download:
      Add the gateway of the WAN1 5times and the gateway of WAN2 4times to the loadbalancer.
      Like this you have a ration of 2500:2000 (5:4)

      To maximize upload:
      Add the gateway of the WAN1 2times and the gateway of WAN2 1times to the loadbalancer.
      Like this you have a ration of 512:256 (2:1).

      You could also have both and define an IPrange which is optimized for upload and/or an IPrange which is optimized for download and you just change accordingly to what you currently need your IP on the client.
      (yes, ugly hack)
