Download Tixati 2.33

Version 2.33 of Tixati has been released. Tixati is a comprehensive and efficient bittorrent client with support for dht, magnet links and rss feeds. The program provides extensive information about all aspects of the download and the incoming and outgoing network traffic. Downloads are available for Windows and Linux. The program does not display advertisements, unlike for example µTorrent. Since version 2.29, the following improvements have been made:

• Multiple file completion shell commands for same extension/type now supported
