Ofcourse.. downloading is usually files like video files , zip files, .exe files and browsing is usually html files and pictures.

Thanks ricky for ur answer, but i mean if u have a server with 2 internet connections, can u route all downloading traffice through one gateway and other traffic throught the second gateway. if yes does it work effectively . Hope you got my point and thanks in advance

I am not that much into scripting but yes you can do same using iptables and bash scripting. Problem is that I know it is possible but can't help further.

Other way is that you can use squid to load balance your traffic.

no I am not talking about those, actually had used one when I was on WIFI as internet provider. I can't recall its name but was something SSG 2000 .
