That is very odd. Are you sure its not a problem created by some partially broken hardware somewhere? if they are selling you 128Mbps it should work (close to) full rate with 1 TCP connection as well as with many. Perhapse you should try and talk to the ISP sysadmin to see if it is intentional (if so why its done) or a bug in the network itself. > > Aria2c or Uget works perfect on my desktop but i wanted a solution that > would work universal without any software on a pc. > > the solution is ranged downloads if the server supports it. > This will make my download split in example 16 ranged byte gets -> 16 > TCP connections => 16X 4Mbit => descent download speed. "descent" is the right word for it. Descent into network congestion for your ISP. :-P If they are doing their job well you will find that this type of behaviour actually lowers your network performance and/or raises the monetary cost. If you actually tested and found that 16x increase happens then they are not doing their job well - or perhapse the 'limit' is actually an artifact of the network structure rather than any imposed shaping. If they are doing their job very badly you might find the same, only everyone else using them has worse network experience too as the congestion hits everyone. > > My solution was to write a python based proxy. > https://github.com/intagger/paraproxio > > It does exaclty that but in a proxy form. > Anything that is not .iso .zip or other that you can define in the > config will just be transparent.

I suggest you may also want to look into the Store-ID and collapsed forwarding features in Squid if you have one that supports them. Both of them allow Squid to de-duplicate requests for identical objects. If your custom Range requests reach a Squid with collapsed forwarding enabled that Squid might even de-duplicate them back into a single fetch (for example in your ISPs network).
