What Tixati is
Tixati is a free peer-to-peer file-sharing program that uses the BitTorrent protocol, available for Windows, Linux, and Android. It supports DHT, PEX, magnet links, UDP peer connections, and NAT router hole-punching, as well as selective downloads, a web interface, remote control, and VPN binding. Bandwidth management and charting are included. Other features include RSS, IP filtering, and an event scheduler. Public or secret decentralized channels let users share information, search, chat, and stream multimedia. Transfers can be configured to use I2P through an external I2P client, the regular internet, or both. Windows downloads include installer, standalone, and portable editions; Linux offers RPM, DEB, manual binary, and portable editions. The maker describes Tixati as having no spyware or ads. Its Android build is experimental, is distributed as direct-download APKs, and omits desktop features including RSS, Channels, and Scheduler. The maker also says Windows EXE files are Authenticode signed and releases can be verified with its official GPG key. Help pages and a feedback and support forum are available.
