There should be no problems with using BITS with proxy or firewalls. BITS
doesn't listen on any network ports and so you don't have to open any ports
in the firewall. If you are using proxy you have to make sure that either
the proxy settings are specified using the api
IBackgroundCopyJob::SetProxySettings or the IE proxy settings for the owner
of the job are correctly set. One thing to remember is to make sure that the
proxies support HTTP/1.1 specification and particularly the Range requests.
Some proxies (Squid and Apache 1.3) respond differently to range requests
depending on whether the file is in the proxy cache or not.
