I've got comcast cable that provides me with "20mbps" download burst speed for the first 10MB of a file, which turns out to be around 2.8MBps. However after that burst, it slows down to about 1.88MB/s (16mbps). I was wondering if there is a way to force a pause/unpause or disconnect after downloading every 10MB?

If this can work, that slight amount of time reconnecting *should* be nothing when compared to the 1MB/s increase in speed earned.

Thanks!

This has been asked before, but never got off the ground.
Impossible to test for the developers (who don't have unpleasant ISPs)
and also very likely to require a different solution for every ISP.

Ahh, thanks; I had searched the forums and the help pages but hadn't found anything (I guess I didn't look hard enough).

I know there is the "force disconnect" button on the status page, and if there could be a configuration option for essentially "hitting" that button once a user-set size has been passed.

I doubt if that would ever really work.
10MB takes about 3-4 seconds, that's the burst.
Stopping and then reconnecting will cost some seconds too
and likely to eat all gains.
