Site Configuration

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,
can someone help with the following scenario :-
We are trying to decide wether to go with secondary sites or just
distribution points, we have a number of regional sites with slow connections
=<2Mb, our first thought was to go with secondary sites as we thought they
would communicate with the primary via BITS, We know that the advanced
clients will communicate with distribution points via BITS, but the
information we can find does not make it clear wether secondaries will use
BITS to communicate with the primary or not.

We do have a couple of large packages >1Gb.

We will only have advanced clients.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Sean
