Using routing tables, of course.
The goal you'd like to get may be tricky the way you post it.
Sounds like the application splits the sources and use both.
The level of it is different.
At least one device should have 2 income ethernet adapters.
Choose would it be your desktop or router in front. Anyway,
prepare to experiment a bit and try/miss/try.

This is what I was mentioning before.  Support you have two cable/dsl modems connected to a debian machine.  Use load balancing using "netxhop" option of iproute2 as shown by the following link..
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html
But note that suppose you have two connetion of 1mbps each, You will not be able to do one single 2mbps download per session.  But you could have 2 sessions of 1mbps each.
Otherwise you could use custom download accelerators, torrent etc. which could split a logical download to multiple sessions.
