Q: 

Background Intelligent Transfer Service(BITS) download speed really slow?

Hi guys,

I am using BITS 2.1 version, on Window XP SP3. I have 2 files, to download using BITS, one is around 9 Mb, other around 1 Mb. I created a BITS job in my C# code, added the 2 files to this Job and started the download. The job has a priority of Normal. The 9Mb file gets downloaded quickly but the other file does not start downloading for a loooong time (around 20 min!). If the Job priority is made to Foreground, both downloads happen in like 3-4 seconds.

Does anyone have any clue why BITS behaves like this. 20 minutes seems to be really long for such a thing.
