Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder.
It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.)
When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive.
I have used many torrent clients more than i care to remember and tixati is the best one (in my opinion) works great on linux and windows. Also I am posting this because I think the people behind tixati need some help.
Well tixati works out of the box, and in my opinion it best manages the network traffic. Especially when you set the download and upload limits, it is amazing at following the limits. Compared to anything else it just feels more polished.
Tixati has been my go to client for years now. windows linux does not matter it just works. if you want to do fine tuning its there if you want something that is install and go it is there. and if you poke your head around you can find a lot of torrents that are not on the average aggregated sites with its built in channels.
The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the tixati.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as tixati.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the tixati.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with tixati. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
To help you analyze the tixati.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. BMalwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.
I know Tixati opens from /usr/bin/tixati but when I check the process while its downloading something after automatically opening from browser it says the command is " /usr/bin/tixati tmp/some/file/stuff.torrent"
I don't know how tixati works, but unless it doesn't maintain information about active/paused torrents, it seems to be a serious bug. I haven't faced this problem with some of the torrent clients that I have used like rtorrent, qbittorrent, transmission, deluge, etc.
I had understood the issue in your first post itself. But, unless the two tixati's are running as different users, I don't know how this is happening. Another possibility might be that you are using a custom tixati wrapper for use with the browsers, but I am sure you must have looked into that. If these options don't apply, I suspect it to be a bug.
Using ps aux, there doesnt seem to be any apparent difference. Both are being run by /usr/bin/tixati. Running from the command line does not produce any errors or such. But I did discover that it is only when downloading with tor browser bundle that the different instance shows up. If I start a torrent with regular firefox or chrome, then I can close and open tixati normailly. But if I start a torrent with TBB, that is when I have to use TBB again to start a new download to reopen the same instance. However, every method of starting tixati still uses the same path (/usr/bin/tixati).
