"Just moved from uTorrent. Improvement, esp in speed."
Version: Tixati 1.95
Pros
Fast, clean. No crapware hidden. Your bandwidth isn't wasted on ads and shady shenanigans running in the background that slow your system, data flow, and your actual download. Download. You remember: the actual reason you got a torrent and magnet client to begin with?
Cons
The interface is slightly less polished than uTorrent but it is as easy to use in my opinion. uTorrent has hotkey shortcuts that Tixati lacks. Tixati requires a lot of clicks where uTorrent would auto-fill. Cumulatively, Tixati's speed will more than compensate contrasted with uTorrent. Still, though, that's room for improvement. Pulling in magnet link meta data n better than uTorrent, though the actual download is much faster.
Summary
Tixati's speeds are in the 500 kb per second range, regularly running into the 600s. With uTorrent, reaching into the 300s briefly was impressive. This was testing the same content from the same source, on the same connection. That's because uTorrent uses your data to pump in crap ads instead of delivering your content.
The Pros of Tixati are the pros uTorrent used to have and what made uTorrent to famous. uTorrent dumped those good traits long ago to become the bloated not-to-be-completely-trusted app it's become.
Tixati seem to be clean, mean and fast. -
"Fantastic! No adverts like the utorrent !"
Version: Tixati 1.95
Pros
No adverts,
fast downloads,
no nonsense,Cons
Cannot stop all torrent and delete them with mouse cursor.
Summary
In short, if you hate the current stage of utorrent giving you tons of advertisement and slow downloads, download this!

"Good but Privacy Concerns"
Version: Tixati 1.93
Pros
Built-in IPBlocker, lots of controls, simple
Cons
Caught sending SSL email (port 995) to unknown URL without user intervention.
Summary
After using a few years trashed Tixati due to privacy concerns.
-
"Very good but could be better"
Version: Tixati 1.92
Pros
Built-in IP blocklist, no ancillary "features", works great
Cons
Watch list folder doesn't work, UI is sluggish
Summary
This is the best alternative to uTorrent I could find; the built-in IP blocklist sold me.

"The Best Current P2P Client by Far!!!"
Version: Tixati 1.92
Pros
1) No spy-ware, no junk-ware, no limitations freeware software.
2) Well-thought design and user-interface, complete with all essentials and no unnecessary details to clutter the interface.
3) Installation (at least in my Windows Vista Home Premium system) was smooth and easy. The program is self-contained, do not mess with your Windows setup and requires no java or .net junk to run and do not require a lot of resources to run smoothly: just configure it right!
4) Very fast to download both torrents and magnets.
5) Very easy to optimize the program: just follow a few easy-to-follow steps in the optimize page at http://tixati.com/optimize to best configure your Windows system, your network modem and router to take full advantage of all pro features.
6) In one phrase: Perfect for experts and adequate even for rookies.Cons
1) No cons or software flaws that I can point out after a month of heavy use.
Summary
Sorry uTorrent / Bit Torrent, Vuze and others P2P clients: Tixati now owns my heart.

"Works better than other p2p I've used."
Version: Tixati 1.91
Pros
Very fast and a lot of different settings that advanced users can mess with.
Cons
Complicated to use and ugly UI.
Summary
If you are an advanced user, this is a great program and has a lot of settings that can be messed around with and changed. It also seems to work slightly better than other torrenting programs than I have used in the past such as bitcomet and utorrent. The program however isn't the prettiest, and if you are not an advanced user, it might have to many settings and other things that have to be set. If you are one of these people, I would stick with programs like utorrent which is my 2nd favorite P2P program.

"The best torrent client yet !"
Version: Tixati 1.88
Pros
got many options like rss feeds and schedule and the best even after trying others like bitcomit , vuze and utorrent
Cons
i think it was just made for advanced users , but for people who find it hard to use you can use utorrent

Summary

"Complex looking yet easy to get the hang of."
Version: Tixati 1.86
Pros
-Impressive number of customization options.
-Very informative about everything that goes on with your download/upload.
-Built-in chat rooms are a great idea if a little underdeveloped.
-The minimalist design means it's easy to read about what's going on.
-No ads and no additional software/malware/spyware installed.
-Insignificant memory ussage.Cons
-Can be a chore to get it set up optimally. Forums and a good guide on the website can help with that.
-Tends to bug out when the download speeds are low and it's sometimes slow to catch up.
-The interface leaves a lot to be desired.Summary
Tixati is a great BitTorrent client. It's deceptively minimalist design will take some getting used to but once you get the hang of how to operate this powerful client nothing will stand between you and your downloads. A lot of patience is required to keep it 100% functional but at the end of the day it's totally worth it.
