To my knowledge, there is no way to download one file from two different
connections connected to two different ISPs at the same time. If you are
running BGP then you might be able to load balance across the two links, but
that would require your upstream providers to allow you to use it, and
possibly the purchase of a public AS number an IP address space depending on
the setup. If you are doing NAT past this link (IE both of your lines go
two the same ISP and same address blocks, but they want to give you 2x 10mb
links for 20mb total), then you can look at doing load balancing on layer 2
(Fast EtherChannel, bonding, Link Aggregate Groups, whatever), or creating 2
PPP style links between the computers and using a routing protocol like
OSPF, EIGRP (but not on Linux) or something. I believe OSPF does equal cost
load balancing, BGP and EIGRP can, I think, do unequal cost load balancing.
But either way, I don't think that's the solution in your case.
The only other option I can think of would be some sort of software that
sends every other packet to a different IP or something, which would need to
run at the end you are downloading at or maybe at your ISPs, but I can't
think of anything like that.
