If you're looking for an alternative Bit Torrent client that supports torrent files and magnet links, then Tixati might be the program you're looking for.
Tixati kicks ass. Totally light weight. No ads and no crap I have to watch out for like a coin miner. Advanced controls. Other cool shit like Chat rooms with streaming audio and video. I highly recommend Tixati. Tixati is a peer-to-peer file sharing program that uses the popular BitTorrent protocol. This protocol allows many peers to form a cooperative swarm and download very large files with great. Tixati version 2.83 is now available. There have been some major improvements: user interface can be translated into any language using simple.txt file format. Several optimizations to startup config file loading, now over 30% faster on typical systems. Tixati provides you with a powerful, yet easy to use and flexible application that uses the bittorrent protocol in order to allow peer-to-peer file transfers.Featuring fast average download speed.
The application serves as a lightweight and easy-to-use Torrent client that allows you to download and upload data on the Internet with the popular peer-to-peer protocol.
One thing that sets Tixati apart from other clients is the graphical user interface that plots data into lovely graphs. The user interface has a few different options to customize it, such as the display of tracker information, peers and seeders, files contained within the torrent, bandwidth, options and comments.
You can access the Tixati settings to customize a long list of options, chiefly the maximum upload and download speeds, the number of concurrent downloads, applying limits to peers and seeders and setting file transfer priority. Upload limit ratios are optional and event logging in standard.
The file transfers using this program are quite fast, of course depending on the tracker and other peers that you're connected to. The configuration options can enable a number of different settings to optimize transfers on your network.
Tixati Best Settings
When connecting to other peers, Tixati has a great feature that can enable peer-to-peer encryption and the option of making connections through a proxy server for added security.
With Tixati, you may filter IP addresses, schedule tasks and even keep up with your favorite filesharing web sites by subscribing to their RSS feeds directly from the client.

Tixati is a proprietaryLinux and WindowsBitTorrent client written in C++ designed to be light on system resources. Its developer, Kevin Hearn (also known for WinMX) releases standalone and portable versions with each new client versions. In addition to standard BitTorrent client sharing functions, Tixati provides integral chatrooms with the channel chat as well as private messaging being strongly encrypted.[citation needed]
Features[edit]
In addition to standard BitTorrent client sharing functions, Tixati provides integral chatrooms with the channel chat as well as private messaging being strongly encrypted.[citation needed] According to Tixati's support page, 'the Channels feature of Tixati is a particularly good demonstration of how to build a decentralized networked application that supports very high throughputs while remaining cryptographically secure in a 100% decentralized environment. This includes a linear network-coded decentralized media streaming feature, which is secured by a homomorphichash function and elliptic-curve signatures (the first system of its kind to be implemented successfully.)'[2] Chatrooms can be either public or secret. Users are allowed to optionally share lists of magnet or URL links which are then searchable across all channels a user is joined to. Browsing a specific user's share list is also supported. The channels also allow for streaming audio and video media.[3]
Fopnu[edit]
Since July 20, 2017, the developers of Tixati have released regular updates of a new P2P system (network and client) called Fopnu.[4] It's visually similar to Tixati but Fopnu is not a torrent client. Fopnu is a decentralized network with the latest advances in P2P technology, pure UDP and with all communications being encrypted. The ad-free freeware client includes chat rooms, contacts list (with private messages), search windows, browsing of a contact's library and creation of contacts groups (to control access to your library). Sharing massive amounts of files is much easier (than creating a lot of Torrent files) and has very little overhead.[5]
Reception[edit]
In 2012, TorrentFreak listed it among the top 10 uTorrent alternatives.[6] The same year, it received a positive review from Ghacks.[7] A 2014 review at BestVPN.com praised it for its lightweight design.[8]In May 2015, Tixati was the fifth most popular torrent client by the audience of Lifehacker.[9]
On January 6, 2017 the developer announced the release of version 2.52 for user alpha testing, which added an encrypted forum function to the channels. Posts to the forum may be visible to all users in the channel or may be private, between only 2 users. In March 2017, it was listed as a popular Bittorrent client by Tom's Guide.[10] In December 2017, it received a positive review by TechRadar.[11] In January 2018, it was reviewed positively by Lifewire.[12]
