Use two internet connections for one download
Your computer can be on Wi-Fi, Ethernet and a phone tethered over USB at the same time, but normally only one of them carries your downloads. Fuselane uses all of them at once: it asks the server for the file in parts, sends each part over whichever network is free, checks every part and joins them into the exact file the server sent.
If your broadband gives 50 Mbps and your phone 30 Mbps, a large file can come down at close to 80 Mbps together. When both connections share one line, the speed test shows it, because then adding them can’t help.
What you can combine
- Home Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet from different providers.
- Broadband and mobile data from a phone connected by USB.
- Two Wi-Fi adapters on different networks.
No router change, no VPN, no relay server and no admin rights: it all happens on your computer, and it works with ordinary download links.
Careful with a phone’s data
Give each network a monthly allowance or a speed limit, choose when it may help (always, only for long downloads, or at set hours), and Fuselane stops using it when the allowance is reached. The built-in speed test shows what each network really delivers.
When it can’t combine
A server that doesn’t allow downloading in parts sends the whole file over one network. Streaming sites and games manage their own connections, so Fuselane speeds up downloads, not your whole internet.
