Tixati is a free BitTorrent file-sharing program for Windows, Linux, and Android. It supports magnet links, DHT, peer exchange, UDP peer connections, and NAT router hole-punching, along with selective downloads, a web interface, and remote control. Bandwidth management and charts help users manage and view transfers. Other tools include RSS feeds, IP filtering, and an event scheduler. Public or secret decentralized channels let users share information, search, chat, and stream multimedia. Transfers can use I2P through an external I2P client, the regular internet, or both. Windows downloads come as installer, standalone, and portable editions; Linux downloads include RPM, DEB, manual binary, and portable editions. The Android app is experimental and distributed as direct-download APKs; it does not include desktop features such as RSS, Channels, and Scheduler. Tixati is free, with optional donations. The maker says it has no spyware or ads, and provides help pages and a support forum.
