Title: Have Alt.Binz use backup server if low speed from primary.
Post by: MultiForce on February 17, 2011, 08:53:03 pm

Maybe nothing the majority wants but I want it anyway  ;)

I got 2 providers but I also want to use it when I have EU/US servers to choose from.

i personaly like the idea, but there would have to be a way to determine when to switch and when to switch back which could be tricky. i image it would basicly need three things:

1. a time interval for testing the speed on the other one maybe somewhere arround 4-5 min (constant testing would mean constant switching which would lower the speed all by it self)

2. a timeperiod for speedtesting to get an acurate average speed (maybe 15 seconds?)

3. a threshold for switching from primary to secondary and vice versa (maybe 10-20% or 100 to 200 KB/S above curent average speed)

Interesting idea, especially with all the talk here regarding ISP's throttling traffic bsaed on packet inspection on certain ports, it could be handy to switch automatically to a different port, or to SSL

Excellent idea
My Usenet provider works sometimes at full speed with 7 connections
but after a few hours it's drop dawn at half speed, so that i must douple the connection and add 5-7 connection over the 7 connection which work good for a few hours.
so the connection will be ( 7 + 7 =14 )
so that idea is Excellent for me.

+1 Currently need this because of my USP moving some of his servers to the USA, giving me slow speeds...
