But the only limitation is if the TCP/IP stack knows from which network to get the stuff from.
In other related topics, there are some programs like Getright and others that support segmented downloading (downloading different segments of the same file from different servers).

Well, it's a fairly minor dream. What I imagine is this: I have DSL. My neighbour has DSL. We also both have WiFi APs that can reach each other, and connect at order-of-magnitude faster than the DSL links. What I dream is this: That we start routing internet across the link. When I start pulling packets off the internet, they can come to me not only through my own DSL but from hers as well. I think this boils down to an ultimate simplicity what all FN / CWNers want to achieve.
What needs to happen before I can realize my dream. I need to get an IPv6 address ... at least one ... for free. I need to be able to set up multi-homing in my home router. I need to be able to advertise my routing path to the internet. The internet needs to be able to handle at a massive scale (since every neighbour connects...). We need a /lot/ more IP addresses than we have now. I need to use a /real/ IP address because I can't route internet traffic through a NAT/site-local address. I need to have an ad-hoc routing algorithm that can set up this bridge and route across it really easily (because I'm not a trained network admin). Forget about BGP, AS, etc., we need a way to handle the massive overload of routes at local scale, at a regional scale, at a global scale -- something that will scale gracefully as the internet topology shifts from a tree to a massively connected mesh.
Please comment ... tell me what you think.

PS I'm cross-posting this to a bunch of lists because I don't know one it belongs on. If you think you know which is best, please tell me!
