Downloading files using BITS gives Transient Error

[Nishant]

Hi,

I have created an application that tries to get a set of files using
BITS from a remote machine..The only response I'm getting is Transient
Error when queried for Job State..The function is as given below..I
have tried MSDN but could not clearly understand the issues with that.
I tried testing the URL created with bitsadmin.exe and it works.
The application is deployed as Windows Service with LocalSystemAccount
logon. Operating systems involved are WinXPSP2/SP3, Win2K SP4. Please
help to know what i'm doing wrong here

Thanks,
NKH

Please use the following command to list BITS job properties and compare the
properties between the jobs created by bitsadmin and jobs created by your
app:

bitsadmin /list /all /users /verbose
