I wonder if one could avoid these disadvantages of BITS by using
wget.exe (from gnuwin32 project) instead.  One could use the "-c" or
"--continue" option to resume partially downloaded files and the
"--limit-rate=RATE" option for throttling downloads.

 From my quick test, it looks like it would require wget.exe as well as
libeay32.dll, libintl3.dll, libiconv2.dll, and ssleay32.dll to be
present on the workstation (but not registered), so all other packages
would probably have to depend on a wget package which installed these
files.

You might want to have a look at <http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195> as well as on the downloader script I've just checked in.

It also allows you to set wget parameters in DOWNLOADER_OPTIONS variable if you wish so.

I was using wget from here <http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/> instead. It's compiled using MS Visual C++ and does not require additional libraries.

Rainer
