I would like to know if it is possible to change the network route without affecting the network connection, for example, suppose I have 2GB remaining on one 3g network and 2GB remaining on my Home ethernet connection, and i would like to download a file of size 3.5GB (by switching from one connection to the other) from a file-sharing site that does not support resume i.e if connection ends, I have to start the entire thing from scratch.
Is there some command that i can use to switch over from one interface to the other instantaneously (either Windows or Linux) without disrupting the connection?

The connection is bound to the local interface; you can't switch, that's a new connection. – Joe – 2012-07-17T20:37:36.897
@Joe, is there no command to switch the connection from one local interface to another, or is it permanently bound within the connection? – nkvp – 2012-07-17T20:44:24.480
@Joe basically, i had researched about the topic. I wanted to know the reason for it not being possible. The main reason i used network-programming tag is that the I initially wanted to develop a program to interface with the adapter to do so. Pls don't downvote the question. I am sure many beginners will have the same doubt. – nkvp – 2012-07-18T17:26:03.617
