Microsoft uses this service to download patch content in the back ground.

Thanks Tim. But Is it mandatory to keep this service running while Patching windows machines with bigfix? Does Bigfix Patching work if we disable this service?

BITS is used probably by SCCM/WSUS. If you are patching with BigFix then SCCM/WSUS could be competing for the patching and your bandwidth.

Easy to check for this on the internet with a google search.
