Hi, I'm just looking if there is a way where i can use two IPs on one computer and use them both in the same time because sometimes i use torrent to download something and i don't want it to take my data usage so i need it to work on another router in the same time i need to navigate the web on another router is there any way i can do that?
Summary:
Two routers one computer each program works on different ip?!

Lots of work mostly.

You can have 2 networks on a machine in a couple of ways, you can multiple nic cards or you can assign secondary IP to the main nic. This is somewhat different than having 2 ISP which is your main question. You can have both router on the same subnet if you like.

The command to make this work is the ROUTE command. What you want to do is set the default route for the gateway that you want most your traffic to run over. Then you want to put in routes for whatever specific IP you want to run over your secondary connection.

Not sure this will work well for you. You cannot route say all web traffic one way and all other the other. It is a stupid command it only routes IP addresses so you would have to get...

There are dual wan routers that have more capability but I am not sure if the consumer grade ones can route based on protocols. Commercial cisco or juniper routers can do a policy based routing and select path based on a number of criteria but it still tends to be tedious to configure.
