Display Name

Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Description

Transfers data between clients and servers in the background. If BITS is disabled, features such as Windows Update will not work correctly. BlackViper.com adds this: This service is used to transfer asynchronous data via http1.1 servers. According to Microsoft's site, Windows Update uses this feature. It continues a download if you log off or shutdown the system (that is, when you log back in). The problem with that is, I do not like having this feature running all of the time. Even though I have found no side effects as to this being disabled, you may require this service for some MSN Explorer, Windows Messenger, Windows Media Player or future .NET functions. Take note: Manual update via Windows Update web site requires Cryptographic Services, Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and Event Log to be running.
