Windows 10: Delivery Optimisation under Service Host: Network Service using large amounts of data on...

It's basically the title. I have activated metered connection, disabled any kind of diagnostics and delivery optimisation on my computer as well as limiting the settings to a minimum under the advanced setting in delivery optimisation but to no avail. My computer has used a whopping 500MB in 3 days on my data connection and it's making me run out of data. Is there any other way to reduce my usage? It's driving me crazy because I don't have access to any WiFi connection and data where I live is really expensive.


For example, here, I set a data limit a few hours ago and left the laptop running with no apps running except for Firefox, and here are the usage stats:




Here are my advanced delivery optimisation settings, even though it is disabled:

Service Host: Network Service -Delivery Optimization hogging network

Currently Service Host: Network Service -Delivery Optimization is hogging the network. Therefore nothing else can download at the right speed. For example I am using the xbox (beta) app to install Gears 5 but it is barely able to achieve a reading so downloads
very slowly while sayin 0mb/s and intermittently stating 2-3mb/s.

I have tried disabling and stopping Service Host: Network Service and Delivery Optimization, this either does nothing and everything still downloads slow or it forces shut down (as expected).

I have also tried limti8ng in advanced options to 5% etc but still no change.

Also turned off backround updates in the store.

Any ideas how to stop it from hogging the network and allow other apps to actually use the network?

 

Service Host: Delivery Optimization

Hello!

There's this service host called delivery optimization and it's really sucking up all of my network, and I have been really impatient with it in the last few days. Can I stop the service? How? And are there consequences if I do that? Thanks.

 

BitTorrent Moves Into Enterprise Market With Delivery Network Accelerator Service

BitTorrent recently presented the general availability of the BitTorrent Delivery Network Accelerator (DNA) service. BitTorrent DNA is a peer-accelerated content delivery service that provides consumers faster, more reliable, more efficient access to rich content through downloads or streams. Brightcove, an Internet TV platform leader, will be the first to integrate BitTorrent DNA to accelerate the delivery of instant-on, broadcast-quality streaming video to their customers.


The new BitTorrent DNA content delivery service is targeted at the needs of commercial content publishers including media companies, software firms and video game publishers. Content publishers recognize that the heavily centralized Internet infrastructure currently in place adversely affects the consumer experience and business model for content distribution. Through years of networking innovation and refinement, BitTorrent DNA is designed to be the ideal solution for publishers seeking ways to overcome the obstacles associated with centralized content delivery, such as slow downloads, choppy video streams, and inefficient use of network infrastructure. BitTorrent DNA provides fast downloads for large files like feature-length movies, games, software programs, and makes it possible to easily stream broadcast-quality video.

“The Internet has become an essential source of entertainment for everything from music, games to TV shows, and even high-definition movies. Given the rapidly growing BitTorrent network, we already have the broadcast infrastructure in place that effectively multiplies the scale of the existing Internet to handle the next wave of content distribution,” said Ashwin Navin, president and co-founder of BitTorrent, Inc. “Implementing BitTorrent DNA on top of legacy infrastructure has the profound impact of allowing our customers to deliver a better user experience, higher quality video, faster software downloads, all with the security and reliability of a managed service.”

“Internet TV started with short videos on websites, but the next step is to move seamlessly from contextual video into full-screen, full-length programming,” said Jeremy Allaire, Brightcove chairman and chief executive officer. “BitTorrent DNA addresses fundamental technology challenges associated with high-quality media delivery online, and by integrating it into a new offering in our Internet TV service, we can give our content publishers the option to easily deliver full-screen, broadcast-quality streaming video to their viewers.”

BitTorrent DNA works seamlessly with pre-existing web infrastructure, which makes it easy to implement. It can leverage traditional content delivery networks (CDNs), origin servers or data center solutions, at the same time enabling content publishers to shift as much as 80 percent of content delivery to a secure, managed peer network. This peer network acceleration dramatically improves the speed and reliability of content delivery, while also greatly reducing bandwidth usage and costs. By employing this hybrid approach of combining peer-to-peer (P2P) technology and traditional content delivery, a content publisher can deliver rich, high-quality content, as well as successfully implement new business models such as ad-supported video and try-before-you-buy online games--all without compromising user experience, reliability and performance.

“From the beginning BitTorrent has been a revolutionary technology that, unlike most transport mechanisms, actually improves as the number of people who use it increases,” said Rob Enderle Principal analyst for the Enderle Group. “This may simply be one of the few examples of the right technology at exactly the right time as users increasingly are demanding larger media rich files at increasing speeds while providers are looking to reduce their overhead and the cost of their services. BitTorrent is one of the few technologies that effectively meets both of these needs.”
