Download manager in C# with BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service)

Download Manager in C#

I' ve used the wrapper of the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/WinXP_BITS.asp, the tecnology behind Automatic Windows Updates and modified the given sample winforms app slightly to allow adding new items to download.

It is very simple, but to work , you need to download and install the .MSI from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/WinXP_BITS.asp and add Microsoft.Msdn.Samples.BITS.dll as refrence in VS.

You can find the code at http://www.xpertdotnet.com/code/Form1.cs.txt
