Symptoms
Assume that you use Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) to deploy an application on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Additionally, assume that you configure the throttling policy in BITS to restrict the network bandwidth. In this scenario, the performance of BITS is slower than expected.
For example, assume that the overall network bandwidth is 244 KB per second. Additionally, assume that you configure the throttling policy in BITS to 32 KB per second. In this situation, the actual bandwidth that is used by BITS is less than 32 KB per second.
Cause
This issue occurs because a problem in the throttling policy causes BITS to estimate the network bandwidth incorrectly.
Resolution
This hotfix is also available at Microsoft Update Catalog.
