Tixati 2.28

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 2.28:

category capture can now also compare file names and tracker URLs
.url and .desktop files that contain magnet links are now also processed in folders that are being watched for .torrent files
fixed HTTP "server overflow" error when processing chunked encoding with zero-length initial segment
transfer preload window is no longer blocked by the presence of other modal dialogs
web UI can now optionally be run without a login
some improvements to the way RSS feed link refresh and item download errors are displayed
RSS feed link error status and retry counts now persist between sessions
fixed RSS feed item URL formatting problem when sourced from feed links with custom headers or cookies
time span display formatting tweaks
GUI tabbed views in Transfers and RSS will remember last tab between sessions
locations chosen when moving individual files within a transfer will now also be added to the recently-used list
check for missing download folder or missing incomplete piece folder will tolerate transient errors for up to 10 seconds
improvements to the Windows system shutdown config-saving process
config file saving sequence on program close has been slightly altered for more overally reliability
preload window option "Apply to All" now also applies trackers and category selection
fixed problems with using "Updated" torrents that overwrite files, force-check now overrides all errors when file is too small
seeding problems due to interaction of super-seeding algorithm with upload_only protocol extension have been solved
super-seeding will announce upload_only when no more useful pieces are available to upload
auto-shutdown will now wait for all moving/allocating activity plus a small additional delay to make sure all operations are complete
added some work-arounds for some extremely rare Windows bugs that cause a disabled main window
fixed a rare crash upon startup involving transfers that are in an indeterminant state when closing program
several minor fixes and tweaks to the Windows pop-up menu widgets, now using dynamically-created popups
minor URL formatting fixes affecting trackers that use username:password@ format in URL
