That's good to know since WU uses BITS and not QoS.

BTW this MSKB article states the "always reserves 20% of the 
bandwidth" [the phrase should be an Urban Legend by now :) ] 
for QoS claim is incorrect.

"Correction of some incorrect claims about Windows XP QoS 
support

There have been claims in various published technical articles 
and newsgroup postings that Windows XP always reserves 20 
percent of the available bandwidth for QoS. These claims are 
incorrect. The information in the "Clarification about QoS in 
end computers that are Running Windows XP" section correctly 
describes the behavior of Windows XP systems."
