Tixati 2.29

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 2.29:

individual tracker options can be adjusted based upon URL-matching from within Settings > Transfers > Trackers
separate seeding/download default peer connection limits in Settings > Network > Connections
peer connection limits can now be adjusted as low as 5
sparse file allocation is now much faster, making for quicker torrent startup on supporting filesystems
GUI changes to allow for better compatibility with systems with very large default fonts and/or low resolution displays
file completion shell commands moved to separate window for easier editing
fixes to HTTP client in RSS/Trackers to work around incomplete server responses
transfer view ordering problems with offline transfers have been fixed
auto-shutdown minimum delay problems eliminated
fixed minor problems with sort column highlighting in tree views
file dialog extension filtering is now case-insensitive
loading from a watched folder is now done in exact order of notification from OS
channel topic on never-visited (grey) channels is now preserved between sessions
files tab completion percentages now show correctly in nested folders
fixed problems with watched folder loading magnet links from .url and .desktop files
category capture options (tracker/files) now save between sessions
category meta-info / magnet-link filesystem paths are now moving correctly in portable mode
several other very minor GUI fixes
