BITS persists transfer information while the user is logged off, across network disconnects, and during computer restarts. When the user logs on again, BITS resumes the user's transfer job.

About BITS

For more information, see Users and Network Connections. BITS provides one foreground and three background priority levels that you use to prioritize transfer jobs.

Higher priority jobs preempt lower priority jobs. Jobs at the same priority level share transfer time, which prevents a large job from blocking small jobs in the transfer queue. Lower priority jobs do not receive transfer time until all higher priority jobs are complete or in an error state.

Background transfers are optimal in that BITS uses idle network bandwidth to transfer the files and will increase or decrease the rate at which files are transferred based on the amount of idle network bandwidth available. If a network application begins to consume more bandwidth, BITS decreases its transfer rate to preserve the user's interactive experience. For more information, see the BranchCache Overview.
