BITS is only needed if you plan on having the server allow other services to upload or download files by using the BITS client. Examples would be a WSUS server would need the BITS Extensions installed.

Normally you wouldn't need this enabled.

  • Cheers. The reason i raised this question wast this text => "preserve the responsiveness of other network applications". So i wondered if that ment it would enable any network traffic to run more efficiently .. somehow. But nope.. so all good! Thanks again Mr Denny :) – Pure.Krome Aug 04 '09 at 01:56
