Okay well I bridged my wireless and ethernet adapter in hopes maybe I can utilize both connections to get higher overall rates of downloading

While net browsing is NOTICEABLY FASTER IN LOADING PAGES, Im downloading files at the same rates as ethernet (wireless has uber high rates but not reliable, ethernet is reliable but slower due to 10mbps half duplex)

Whats going on? what does bridging do?

That is not the intended use for bridging. The intended use is to share an internet connection to a port that does not have it. For example say your PC was connected to the internet over wireless only, and you had a game console that you wanted internet on. You could simply plug the console into your PCs Ethernet port, bridge the connections then tada your console has internet.

Bridging them will not increase your internet downloading period. If anything the redundancy could create more problems. You noticing the faster loading in pages is probably a mental thing or the packets are coming over the wired connection while your used to the wireless or vice versa.

Trust me when I say this, it will NOT help you speed up internet downloads. You only have 1 pipe to the internet through your modem, creating more links from your computer to the modem/router only complicates things. 10mbps is well over standard internet connections, so I say just go with the wired when possible.

This might all be moot if your dealing with files on your local area network only, and not over the internet.
