I was wondering if anyone who is much smarter than me with tech (most of you) could tell me if there's a way to use my USB tethered phone connection for downloading something on my PC while I use my Ethernet connection and home broadband for gaming?

I cant download anything while I'm gaming without it making everything unplayable because the internet is so bad, I get much better speeds on my phone network when I tether to it but the ping is a lot higher and its not as stable, I was hoping to find a way to be able to download a game in the background on my USB tethered connection while I use my ethernet connection to play another game at the same time and not have the internet be so slow that its unplayable.

TIA

Get a download manager or download tool that allows you to configure the network card / IP address it binds to.

Then your game can continue to go on the default (local ethernet ) network and your download manager uses the phone's "network card"
