I live miles from our tel exchange and only get 0.8M download speeds. It occurred to me last night that I can see a few of the neighbours wireless networks, all of who suffer this same cr*ppy download speed. What if we could bridge our wireless networks and use a proxy server using the same multi-source logic that download managers use (eg FDM) and have any downloads over say 10Mb get split up and a chunk downloaded from each neighbours ADSL connection ??? It sounds feasible to me, but I'm a mere developer, no network guru, so I was about to prototype something by attempting to merge an OS proxy server with an OS download manager when the whole "reinventing the wheel" issue raised its head and thought I'd best ask you guys first. Anyone heard of such a "multi-client,multi-source,multi-dsl-connection" proxy server ? Is it even possible ?
