Hi Rob, Thanks alot man for this solution... But, Here is the other part... Can i leave the ip link set dev eth0 up(eth0 and eth1 still up) with bond0 also up. Thats because i have some other traffic already using eth0 and eth1 separately and i want them to keep using them as they are... so in other words i need the round robin double speed only for this ftp application. Appreciate your help alot.
