Bitsadmin.exe is a command-line tool. Bitsadmin.exe allows administrators to manage the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), a background file transfer service and queue manager. Requests to BITS are submitted by an application and the files can be transferred in a throttled manner such that the interactive user is not affected by the bandwidth consumed. Requests are placed in a queue until the files are transferred, at which time the requesting application is invoked and notified of the completion.
USAGE: BITSADMIN [/RAWRETURN] [/WRAP | /NOWRAP] command
The following commands are available:
/HELP Prints this help
/? Prints this help
/UTIL /? Prints the list of utilities commands
/PEERCACHING /? Prints the list of commands to manage Peercaching
/CACHE /? Prints the list of cache management commands
/PEERS /? Prints the list of peer management commands
/LIST [/ALLUSERS] [/VERBOSE] List the jobs
/MONITOR [/ALLUSERS] [/REFRESH sec] Monitors the copy manager
/RESET [/ALLUSERS] Deletes all jobs in the manager
/TRANSFER [type] [/PRIORITY priority] [/ACLFLAGS flags]
remote_url local_name
Transfers one of more files.
[type] may be /DOWNLOAD or /UPLOAD; default is download
Multiple URL/file pairs may be specified.
Unlike most commands, may only be a name and not a GUID.
/CREATE [type] Creates a job
[type] may be /DOWNLOAD, /UPLOAD, or /UPLOAD-REPLY; default is download
Unlike most commands, may only be a name and not a GUID.
/INFO [/VERBOSE] Displays information about the job
/ADDFILE Adds a file to the job
/ADDFILESET Adds multiple files to the job
Each line of lists a file's remote name and local name, separated
by spaces. A line beginning with '#' is treated as a comment.
Once the file set is read into memory, the contents are added to the job.
/ADDFILEWITHRANGES
Like /ADDFILE, but BITS will read only selected byte ranges of the URL.
range_list is a comma-delimited series of offset and length pairs.
For example,
0: 100,2000:100,5000:eof
instructs BITS to read 100 bytes starting at offset zero, 100 bytes starting
at offset 2000, and the remainder of the URL starting at offset 5000.
/REPLACEREMOTEPREFIX
All files whose URL begins with are changed to use
Note that BITS currently supports HTTP/HTTPS downloads and uploads.
It also supports UNC paths and file: // paths as URLS

Sets a program to execute for notification, and optionally parameters.
The program name and parameters can be NULL.
IMPORTANT: if parameters are non-NULL, then the program name should be the
first parameter.
Examples:

certificate : Set the 4th bit from ri
ht

ed if a redirect occurs.
0,1,0 - BITS will fail the job if a redirect occurs.

right

The following options are valid for UPLOAD-REPLY jobs only:

eply
/SETREPLYFILENAME Sets the path of the file containing the server
eply
/GETREPLYPROGRESS Gets the size and progress of the server reply
/GETREPLYDATA Dumps the server's reply data in hex format
The following options can be placed before the command:
/RAWRETURN Return data more suitable for parsing
/WRAP Wrap output around console (default)
/NOWRAP Don't wrap output around console
The /RAWRETURN option strips new line characters and formatting.
It is recognized by the /CREATE and /GET* commands.
Commands that take a parameter will accept either a job name or a job ID
GUID inside braces. BITSADMIN reports an error if a name is ambiguous.
