- xvhpqg commented on TixatixvPacked with nice features like the scheduler, has flexible interface and very eye-friendly color scheme out of the box. Works great, my only complaint is the nagging pop-ups asking for donation now and then. Because of this, don't use Tixati when playing fullscreen games or something. Also the official community is very sensible and responsive to the issues.

- Guest doesn't think this post on Tixati is helpfulGu**Not worth trying** This client looks fine at first sight, but further usage discovers poor quality and attitude. I must admit it has nice interface, but also has it some ugly bugs and poorly developed features. And the appaling thing is some features present are simply not working properly! The examples are torrents' speed priorities (which are not working), speed limits (which are 100 kB/s at maximum, which is absurd) and beginning and end loading at first (which is not working as well). Also you'll definitely get pissed off when choosing the save path for your torrent, because your recently used folders' list will float beyond the screen's edge, and because every time you need to choose a completely new folder you'll have to pick it all the way from your computer's root folder by folder. There are also other bugs I won't waste time describing. Another concern about this client is it's a closed source application. It's written on it's site that there's no spyware and stuff included, but without the source code it's just their words that can't be confirmed. And as the amount of spying activity on user's valuable data is rapidly increasing nowadays, the risk you're taking by using it is intolerably high. Yes, your torrents list is valuable, because what you download can tell much about you to those who are interested. But the most averting thing is the developer's neglection of users. The only source of support in case you need it is the forum, and when I referred to that forum with a question explicitly directed to developers, THEY DIDN'T BOTHER TO ANSWER TO ME AT ALL. If you just respect yourself, you won't be dealing with this neglective attitude.
Files arrive 100% perfect. Built-in scheduler. It even has chat if you want that sort of thing. It does everything you want it to do, without all the bloat of certain other clients.
Full featured and intuitive, very customizable and cross-platform. Used Tixati both on Linux and Windows environments with excellent results.
Not worth trying

The software is free, you entitled child. Use uTorrent like everyone else if it bothers you so much.

I use this program every day since 2012, most of your comment isn't true. Speed priorities work very well, actually they work better than in any other client, this is one of main reasons why I use Tixati. Speed limits also work OK. You are right, the default max limit is 100kB/s but you can load some other presets with higher speed limits or even set up whole menu by yourself, totally customize it. You can limit recent folders' list length or change it to predefined list of download locations. At load torrent screen you can type destination path by hand after switching one setting. These are nice features but all of them pale when you try Categories. These are really useful in contrast to labels used in more popular clients. Of course there are some bugs and unfortunately Tixati is proprietary but in my opinion it's still better than most other GUI bittorrent clients.

My advice to anyone thinking twice because of this review is, this user's review isn't worth reading because this person has no clue how to use Tixati. Some of what he's written is flat out false, such as the download limits. Not only that but if you take a look at this dude's reviews, it seems this is just another person who never says anything unless they have a complaint. Not worth reading.

I've been using it for years. You can choose a download order if you select multiple files. Very manageable and never fails.
This client works out of the box, has all the info you'd (I'd) need, promises to be nice all over the line and not the least has cool aesthetics and supports themes and customization.
Incredibly fast and light. Works flawlessly with magnet links, not only torrents. Great for old devices with low RAM and etc.
