WSUS 3.0 Error: The server is failing to download some updates.

The following errors start appearing in my WSUS 3.0 server application log:

Event Source: Windows Server Update Services
Event ID: 10032
Description:
The server is failing to download some updates.


Event Source: Windows Server Update Services
Event Category: Synchronization
Event ID: 364
Description:
Content file download failed. Reason: The server does not support the necessary HTTP protocol. Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) requires that the server support the Range protocol header.
Source File: /msdownload/update/software/crup/2008/02/bcm2007qfe-kb946140-fullfile-enu_9c8d60aef0faf5ba4a7b71ba3647241b89c19dda.cab Destination File: c:\WSUS\WsusContent\DA\9C8D60AEF0FAF5BA4A7B71BA3647241B89C19DDA.CAB.

To solve the problem I did the following:
-Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service.
-Run the following command:

%programfiles%\Update Services\Setup\ExecuteSQL.exe -S %Computername%\MICROSOFT##SSEE -d "SUSDB" -Q "update tbConfigurationC set BitsDownloadPriorityForeground=1"

-Start the Background Intelligent Transfer Service.
-Restart the Update service.
And that’s it, the service start downloading the updates successfully, and you will get the following information event in your app log.
