Better is a relative word. Some people still think that uTorrent is better than Tixati. I'm a software jonkey. I can assure you I have installed at least 20 Bittorrent clients and I've got the best result with Tixati so far. uTorrent is the 5th or 6th at my top Bittorrent clients list. The main advantages of uTorrent (for me) would be:
- Its clean design and look
- High popularity among all private trackers . You know for a fact that uTorrent is not baned in any private tracker.
- Stablity. If you experience a power failure or a sudden restart you may end up losing some settings in Tixati. This is not the case in uTorrent.
The main advantages of Tixati (again in my opinion) would be:
- It's fast and uses less system resources.
- A lot of good and handy features.
- Good response to user's feedback (in forum)
- Fast [and advanced] algorithms for download/upload/throttling. Although I should mention that in very rare cases uTorrent is faster (for instance I tested both clients at my friend's house, uTorrent downloaded faster). But usually Tixati is much faster.
- It uses the half-downloaded pieces in files so data is rarely wasted (this is not the case in uTorrent. If you pause/stop a lot, you could end up wasting 100MB in a large torrent)
Summary:
In my opinion Tixati has a lot of way to go but it's at the top of my list. I don't have any problems with it but surely it could be better. I think when Tixati hits the 2 or 2.5 version, it'll be the perfect client. The important thing is that Tixati is on the right track and with a lot of work from us (by providing feedback) and developers (by listening to them) we'll get there. Anyway even right now it doesn't have that much of a rival.

Ever since uTorrent 3.0 Tixati wins. I think uTorrent has been hijacked by the US government. I read that if the TOR network were obligated to insert a back-door they would not be able to tell their clients of such. uTorrent, i feel, has been hijacked.
ReplyDeleteTixati could add some more functions of the sorting kind, i'd like to sort by peers and seeders as opposed to them both grouped into the 'status' tab, but the bottom line is tixati is better than utorrent.
what do you mean by "bottom line" ?
ReplyDelete"- It's fast and uses less system resources." LOL
ReplyDeleteTIXATI (Right now) 2 torrents 80MB ram 25% CPU
uTorrent (Right now) 140 torrents 30MB ram 3% CPU
do you use that 2 programs in 1 system environment?
ReplyDeletei never face any problem with tixati.. even in my linux netbook :D
Resource and system requirement of Tixati is actually higher than Utorrent. In my Pen IV PC utorrent is lighter at resource. In FAQ Tixati mentioned that it requires 1GHz processor and above.
ReplyDeleteBut beside that, I still prefer Tixati. I use it now.
