WSUS was just an example. If you have any program that transfers data from MS (like windows update), there's a good chance that it uses BITS.

Open up your Event Viewer and see if you have an Application Log called Bits-Client.

Those cmd files work just fine with Win7, but they must be run as admin or started from an elevated command prompt.
