If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, BITS uses all available unused bandwidth. To prevent BITS transfers from occurring, specify a limit of 0. If you specify a value less than 2 kilobits, BITS will continue to use approximately 2 kilobits. You can specify the limit in kilobits per second (Kbps). Using the three policies together (BandwidthThrottlingStartTime, BandwidthThrottlingEndTime, BandwidthThrottlingTransferRate), BITS will limit its bandwidth usage to the specified values. to 5:00 P.M., and use all available unused bandwidth the rest of the day's hours. For example, limit the use of network bandwidth to 10 Kbps from 8:00 A.M.

You can specify a limit to use during a specific time interval and at all other times. This policy is based on the 24-hour clock. This policy setting does not affect foreground transfers. This policy specifies the bandwidth throttling end time that Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) uses for background transfers.
