    are you going into the same router? if so its pointless to take split it up. run ethernet for all your stuff as 100mb/s is more then ample for most uses

    Plus your bottleneck is not the network, it is your internet connection which is much less than 100mb/s!

    ??

    If I get what you're saying, this shouldn't be difficult to do at all, but I think you might need 2 computers to do this.

    Just disable wireless on the computer you want to use to torrent and disable the LAN connection on the computer you want to use to surf the internet.

    Right?

    it wont be as easy as you think. your best bet would be to get a decent router that allows multiple internet connections in and then break it out by services(ports) easiest and most affective way in my opinion

    I've never found a way to do this for my torrent client, but I would think you should be able to make it work. As far as I know there is no option in bittorrent to do this tho.

    are you trying to 'cheat' the bittorrent protocols by slaving two 'different' internet connections together for faster downloads?

    There is no option like that.
    Windows usually on accept 1 IP, which means that you can only use 1 network at a time.

    What you can do is to run a virtual machine, install an OS on the virtual machine, setup the virtual machine to use your wifi, then tell the OS in the virtual machine to store the torrent file to a shared folder which happens to be your download folder.

    Also, unless you're like me who has very fast internet connection and crappy and cheap router, and the skills to setup those advanced settings, downloading with wirelessG isn't a problem. The bandwidth is more than enough for you. Unlucky for me, my torrenting speed maxed out at around 20MB/s~ or aound 163840Kbit/s because the router is limiting my download speed.
