Tixati

If you regularly need to download large files directly from the host server, then using a torrent client can go a long way. Since they can dissect and download the large file into smaller pieces that are later combined, the download process is considerably faster.

Tixati is a lightweight torrent client that has gained popularity over the years and that might be worth checking out.

By far the most common complaint regarding the program is the interface that is not designed similarly to other tools in this niche. Not only is it rather old-school and could use some freshening up, but it has all tabs aligned at the top. If you used torrent clients with tabs to the left, it may feel a bit weird using the app.

Then again, let’s not forget that it can be customized so that it meets your needs and preferences. By accessing the User Interface settings, you can change color scheme and general colors, fonts, widget styles, behavior, output formatting and the web interface. You can also customize other aspects of the app relating to the transfers, channels, RSS feed, IP filters, DHT, so on and so forth.

Unlike most torrent clients out there, Tixati is not open-source and hence, has made numerous people skeptical regarding the protection of user privacy and safety. Despite the fact that the code is not out there to be examined by anyone curious, the app itself is relatively safe and displays reliable information when you join a swarm.

As far as the privacy issues are concerned, no torrent client can really shield you on this one unless you use it along with a VPN client. Lastly, it is worth mentioning that this particular torrent client doesn’t include ads, which is quite refreshing and another reason to reduce suspicions on its privacy and safety.
