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

- always reset tracker retry timeouts when a torrent starts/stops
- added guard to watched-directory .torrent loading to prevent multiple load if watching from multiple categories / root
- fixed minor status display problems when using on-demand file allocation (in Settings > Transfers > Files)
- fixed inaccurate progress bar rendering in files tab when download padded torrents with many small files within several folders
- fixed crash when using Linux SNI tray icon on systems with Gnome AppIndicator shell extension
- now displaying total swarm B/s in transfer details tab instead of average B/s
- looser file/folder name sanitization when creating seeds
- much better name sanitization fallback routines on Linux when creating/moving files on restrictive file systems (eg. NTFS/FAT)
- several optimizations and minor fixes to on-demand file allocation
- fixed password protection break-out problems when missing download folder dialog is raised
- fixed memory state diagnostic graph category for startup-loaded transfer objects
- starting program hidden in tray now works correctly on Linux/GTK builds

- fixed crash if all transfer categories removed from side-bar list
- fixed crash if channels are removed while local search is in progress
- fixed rare crash in settings window loading routine
- fixed crash in GTK menu system
- optimizations to speed up interface loading on program startup
- other minor fixes and adjustments throughout the GUI
