Cross Download

Sometimes you see that you are not downloading anything and not browsing internet but your connection utilization up to maximum.
So the advance users look for the process that is using the connection bandwidth and disable using personal firewall usually as i do.

But sometimes you will see the “Host” process is using maximum bandwidth and when you disable this process all the other applications are not able to communicate over the network as it is the host process.

In Windows 7 and Windows Vista Microsoft introduced the new feature “Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)” this service allow windows to download all files and update that is used by Automatic Windows Update and other Windows components.

BITS uses the idle bandwidth of network connection, when your connection is idle BITS silently download files in background.

• Now right click on that choose properties
