    this may be a good product
    but there are two thing that are several isues that came up
    (1) i couldnt get it installed on my machine because the msi wasnt recognised.
    (2) i then found out that its only compatable with windows xp sp1
    (3) you got to have sql 2000 or there equivalient too.

    Its best if you read up about it first
    from microsoft.com

    Not bad but i am not sure if i want to install Background Intelligent Transfer Services (BITS) 2.0 English beta (BETA) product on my production server. Has anyone encountered any issues with this during a large deployment or update request?

    Awesome version. Very powerful and it was wise to destroy the html.

    With RedHat charging outrageous fees for their satellite network MS got this one right by making it free and easy to use. This is definitely a step in the right direction towards making our infrastructures more secure!
