Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! I just found out that Tixati has a Linux version. I have already installed it and it works just as great as it does in Windows. When I found this app in Windows it was so good to me cause I really wanted to ditch Utorrent and with tixati I finally did it. For those of you who've never used it and use to download stuff via torrents, I think you should definitely try it and you won't regret it Smile
Hello,

I installed Tixati one week ago.
Works fine, but Tixati has too many parameters you ajust if you want, but works fine without changing any of these.

Hi [member=6829]Paul74[/member]
Yes you're right, Tixati works just fine "out of the box", yet you can play a little bit with the bandwidth configuration and set incoming and outcoming kb/s as needed/desired. Also, I'm really not sure but I think the Ipfilter feature/setting was on in Windows and I noticed it's off by default in Linux.
Lazy ass question (since I didn't use torrents yet and didn't even Google it Wink ), is there qBitTorrent for Linux?
Always used this whenever I torrent/magnet (2-3 times a year).

Going back to sleep... zz

Hi [member=6733]TheDead[/member]
Indeed. You can install it by opening a terminal and typing:

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install qbittorrent

Also, if you're more a "compile myself" guy rather than adding PPAs to your source.list, source code is available on its website
I used it on Windows and Debian Jessie and like Utorrent I didn't like it either. I'm telling you man, Tixati rules! Well, at least it does for me  Wink
I tried Tixati a while back, I remember it had vibrant colors on black background, it looked like something from the Commodore64 days.
I dont use Torrents a lot so I use the "Simple and gets the job done!" approach for this kind of software.
But... since you said that it "rules" I'll try it again next time I need a torrent/magnet file... Wink ... see? I listen to you... Tongue

Cheers!

It might not be the "prettiest" around but it certainly works, in my opinion, far better than the rest.
