Several applications require BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service). Adding an implementation of BITS would be quite useful.
This intrigued me, so I poked at the information on BITS a little. MSDN provides some fluff about using it, but doesn't give very much information interesting for implementing the COM interface, what a surprise.
Anyway, I don't know what shape our iphlpapi is in, but I think it should be possible to at least get the basic features working in the context of a SoC project. Advanced features like authentication seem to rely on SPNEGO (MSDN calls it Snego, which is interesting, as all other MS papers I know call it Negotiate) to negotiate Kerberos or NTLM, and that's not there yet. Then again, I wouldn't call this a necessary feature.
Go for it, people, only three days to do some more research on this. :)
