Portable Tixati 2.74.1

This protocol allows many peers to form a cooperative swarm and download very large files with great efficiency. How does it work?
Once the Tixati software is installed, starting a download is easy.
First, the user finds a .torrent file on the web. A .torrent file is very small, and contains meta-data describing the much larger file that is to be downloaded from a swarm of other peers. These .torrent files can be easily found by using Google, or one of hundreds of Torrent Sites which also feature organized categories for the user to browse.

Once the user has chosen and downloaded a .torrent file from the web, they simply open it from within Tixati by clicking the 'Add' button. After the .torrent is opened, Tixati connects to other peers in the swarm and downloads the desired files automatically, leaving them in a convenient 'Downloads' folder on the user's desktop.

Why choose Tixati?
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 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
Tixati News

July 10, 2020

Tixati version 2.74 is now available. There have been many improvements:

• added support for UDP peers, DHT, and UDP trackers over SOCKS 5 proxy that supports UDP associate command
• revised and improved support for all other TCP over SOCKS 5 proxy
• improved controls in Settings > Network > Proxy
• post-shutdown tracker cleanup improved, more reliable final announce for UDP trackers
• UDP trackers support per-transaction port binding over SOCKS 5 when using proxy-side name resolution
• tracker error retry timing fixed so changes to network settings will reset extended retry intervals
• fixed problems causing frequent cycling of peer connection attempts when DHT is offline
• new option to do a redundant hash-check of completed transfers or files in Settings > Transfers > Files
• several refinements to the post-completion sequencing of checking, move on complete, and file completion shell commands
• better handling of missing-file situations when the 'Error on missing downloaded files' option is not enabled
• fixed file activity stall when a file hash check is interrupted by a move operation
• fixed display of localized dates and times on Windows systems that use Unicode for day and/or month names
• improvements to bandwidth throttle prioritization algorithms for better accuracy under heavy connection churn
• minor improvements to internal program closing procedures
• UPNP/NATPMP mappings are now removed on program closing (although still using a TTL for safety incase remove fails)
• fixed problems with some bytes per second readouts that would zero out after 20+ days of uptime
• minor fixes to the GUI blocking mechanism that keeps modal dialogs from overriding each other
• updated IP location tables
