Tixati 2.26

Tixati

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 it's 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

Changes in Tixati 2.26:

several new tabs have been added to the category properties window
categories can auto-capture transfers that match a user-configured title filter, upon transfer loading and/or completion
categories can each watch their own file system folder for .torrent files to load
categories have individual settings to save .torrent or magnet link upon transfer loading and/or completion
file-checking routines re-worked to be much more CPU friendly and more efficient, especially with large pieces
added two new pages in Settings > Transfers, one for magnet links, another for file locations
option to save .torrent or magnet link upon transfer completion
option in Settings > Transfers > Files to run shell command(s) upon completion of transfer, file, or specific file extension
new optional column in transfer view, "Last Activity", records the time of last block upload or download
Add Transfer and Preload windows now display free disk space on location tooltips
when program starts up, peer connections will wait for any pending IP filter refresh/reload operations to complete
new checks to make sure popup windows do not show offscreen, even with previously-visible saved positions
fixed URL parsing to work better with username:password@ after protocol and before address section
when binding a local network interface, check for interface changes is done more often, every 10-15s, down from 30s
new workarounds for tray icon problems in some Linux distros
eliminated problems with incomplete piece storage between sessions
new transfer tracker adjustment now also applies to created transfers
better system shutdown handling in the Windows build
improved GUI input-focus processing in Windows systems
eliminated a minor category-jump (which would cause selection loss) when new downloads start up
adding a peer manually can now change the port of an existing offline peer with the same address
fixed some display issues in the 'Tree View' transfer layout
updated IP-location tables
