Re: bypassing torrent throttling?
hi, TBIT, welcome to TSI.
There are different ways to do mlppp. Any decent dsl modem will work, popular models here include the Speedtouch 516 or 546 series, as well as the cheaper TP-Link clones. 2Wire refurbished modems can be had as well, and personally I believe are the best for long lines with higher attenuations.
To get an mlppp connection you will need to use one of these options :
- a dedicated router, a popular model being the Linksys WRT54GL, with a custom Tomato/mlppp firmware.
- or running VirtualBox and the Zeroshell linux package on it, this runs in your windows machine.
- or running Window's own multilink ppp capability, although you must make sure a decent firewall is protecting your system in this case.
The router option is a low cost and effective solution, which can provide mlppp for your whole home network at once. Spend the $60 or less for the router, install the firmware and you are done. |
