I have Two ethernet cards / Connections
How can I tell windows to set Eth1 as default so web,steaming all the normal stuff uses this connection?
I have set bittorrent up correctly to use the other connection but after a restart windows starts to use the bittorrent one. And if I change bittorrent to use the other one It just does the very same thing on the next reboot.

Look in the Advanced button for the adapter ipv4 properties, uncheck automatic metric and number the interface metric 1.

Ah right cheers
So set the main one to '1' and the other bittorrent one to '2' or '200' or something like that?
Thanks

Hmm yea but both connects are the same speed and same ethernet speeds

All I am after doing is

Eth1 everything else
Eth2 for Bittorrent (which can be done in bittorrent 'net.bind_ip'

That is all :)

Not a fix but may be a work around that can be used without restart

Disable the one you are not using and enable as needed...kind of messy but beats rebooting

Are you saying you have two different Ethernet adapters?

Sorry, did some searching, but cannot come up with an answer. Not even sure if it's possible.

Are you still trying to figure this out

here is what I would try
set the proxy in bittorrent to the gateway of the lan card you want to use
ipconfig will be your best friend for this solution
