Running bitsadmin /monitor does not change how the BITS service is run and
has nothing to do with the proxy problem.
I would like to know more about how you solved it just by running bitsadmin
without changing any settings. It might be that the problems were only
transient and hence BITS automatically recovered. I would like to know what
exact error codes you were seeing.
