Hello boys & girls,

So what many people might not know is that when a user executes a program the 
CM client puts the BITS job to download the job into a priority of FOREGROUND. 
That might have been a smart thing to do in order to get content fast, as it's 
the highest priority and stops all other jobs from downloading.

Sadly though, it also totally bypasses and bandwidth limitation in place. So a 
user executing a download of  large package like AutoCAD in a remote poor 
bandwidth location could be a bad thing. So we deal with this issue in the new 
StifleR client (which will be free to use) and reset the job to HIGH which uses 
policy. So there will be a workaround soon. Alternative is also to use the Free 
BranchCache for OSD downloader BITSFIST.exe as an ACP.

Now to the question, before we file this as a BUG/DCR, do people think that 
this kind behavior is a good thing? It must be like this for a reason? 
(Although I can't think of any reason, but I am not the smartest person in the 
room). Some MS feedback would be good here.

Regards,
Andreas Hammarskjöld
