BITS - how idel is an idel network?

I am new to BITS. It stated that BITS uses idel network bandwidth to transfer
files, but anyone can explain how idel is a idel network? I am asking because
of the following senario:

:: Not all parts of the networks are idel. There are many segment from the
user to the server - the LAN, the connection to the ISP, the ISP to backborn
network and from the network to the file server from which you download. What
if the only part of the network is idel - I assume some part of the network
never idel or seems to be idel.

Thanks
Jian

Hi,

BITS only extends to the current machine. If the machine is idle, then BITS
will use the network more than if the machine isn't idle
