Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS.
Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder.
It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.)
When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive.
Tixati has the following features:
- detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers
- support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available
- super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads
- peer connection encryption for added security
- full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging
- advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding
- highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers
- bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm
- customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm
- expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress
- 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol
- Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available
Tixati 2.62 changelog:
- completely revised webseed support
- magnet links now fully support HTTP/HTTPS webseeds via the ws= and as= attributes
- webseed TLS connections now forward proper host names through Server Name Indication
- fixed problems with webseed HTTP request path compilation in multi-file downloads, now always caches original names
- better response overflow protection for webseeds to avoid wasted bandwidth
- magnet links support meta-info HTTP/HTTPS download via the xs= attribute
- consecutive piece selection for webseed connections allows for more efficient pipelining and higher speeds
- better connection timing algorithm for webseeds, support for request pipelining on keep-alive connections
- template for copying magnet links in Settings > Transfers > Magnet-Links now also supports [webmeta] tag
- support magnet links from web-based video platforms like PeerTube and BitChute
- fixed several problems with HTTP redirect handling and loop detection in trackers / webseeds / RSS
- raised asynchronous piece-saving queue maximum length to avoid slowdowns in downloads with very small piece size
- fully revised peer connection and choke/unchoke timing algorithms
- much faster peer connection upon initial download startup
- fixed problems with temporary peer lockout when restarting transfers
- better error handling when creating directories for new multi-file downloads
- several minor protocol-level fixes in the HTTP server that powers the WebUI system
- fixed crash during move operations on multi-file transfers containing zero-length files
- better cleanup in TLS adapter, prevents rare crash when using HTTPS trackers / webseeds / RSS
- named-host SSL SOCKS or HTTPS proxy connections now correctly forward host name via Server Name Indication
- improved memory allocation error handling, can now better detect erroneous allocations vs true out-of-memory conditions
- other minor improvements in the GUI
