2.49 has completely throttled my DL and UL speeds

It is awful. I'm not a computer person but I know the only thing I did was update to the new version. I want to go back to previous version but there appears to be no support for that.

The changelog for v2.49 does refer changes to QoS among others, dunno if it's related.

Click on the BANDWIDTH button in the upper area of the Tixati window and make sure that "Auto Limit" is off, and that the "Limit Incoming/Outgoing" boxes aren't set to something too low as per your connection capabilities.

If the above isn't the culprit, and if you're sure you haven't manually changed other settings (such as network options and upload/download slot stuff), try replacing "2.49" with "2.48" in the download link while keeping everything else in the link as it is to get the previous version (for instance, if you're on 64-bit Windows, that would be https://download1.tixati.com/download/tixati-2.48-1.win64-install.exe  ).

As a general rule, if you have a version of any program which works fine, always keep the downloaded file in your hard drive in case you have to go back to it after an upgrade. It happens. :)

I have the same issue. I have many Tixati 2.48 versions with different computers and in every case UL and DL speeds are crap.

One Tixati that is only seeding, had 2200 to 2300 client connections in the previous week and now only 800max.
Other Tixati that is only seeding (with direct 100mb ethernet) used to have only minimum max outgoing connection attempts for TCP and UDP,
both had the min option 2. That worked fine and peer connections were high after some time. It has 1100 seeds constantly sharing at
super seeding. After I raised the max connections number to 50 TCP and 500 UDP, it worked OK but still not as smoothly as with 2.48,
at least it worked better before when I had bigger max connection attempts than 2. After the change to 2 I rarely check it anymore, because it
has been working perfectly for the past year.

I have compatible(Default) socket options and default automatic queue management with 1000 slots. Incoming peer connection accept either,
Outgoing peer connection encrypt preferred, Max connections per seed/load 200/200, connect/login timeouts 24/20. Outgoing UDP>TCP, Incoming UDP=TCP.
Every settings have been the same for the past year, only my raising of connection attempts after finding that only 2-3 peer connections were made.

Hope this help. If you have anything you want me to check, please let me know. Im the one that had peer connection problems little over year ago when 2.12
operated perfectly but anything after that didnt, if anybody happens to remember :)

I went back to version 2.48 for this reason.
The seed & download speed seems better in version 2.48 than in 2.49

I had similar problems after updating to 2.49.
I wasn't seeing very much activity with dime uploads.
Ratios of all recent torrents were averaging less than 50% of normal.
The user/port listing on dime torrents indicated I was firewalled.
Checked the port listing in Tixati and it was OK.
The same port was correctly configured in my router's port forwarding.
Rebooted router and PC, no help.
Uninstalled 2.49 and reinstalled 2.48.
Seeing much more upload activity now and user/port lists don't show me firewalled anymore.

I also have a problem but in my case the firewall and DHT are OK.  The number of connections is low.

Hello Tixati lovers

same problem here
back to 2.48 and get :
 1. normal download and upload speed
 2. more peers in seed and leech
 3. get back my self-connect status

just take patience, waiting for a fix to 2.49

there's something seriously wrong with this release

my bandwidth graph looks like a mountain range. Up to a peak then instantly down to zero

It also causes my openvpn client to keep reconnecting; no idea why. Sounds inane but if I stop the download, give Transmission the data it continues the download on full speed and my VPN stays working

Looking forward to a quick fix

I can confirm.  Switching back to 2,48 the connections came back on Windows x64.

Ubuntu 16.04
Tixati 2.49

I've forwarded my ports;

Received: 77K
Negotiating: 0
Placed: 12, but drops 0 in a few seconds.

I also don't have any incoming connections in peer list, all outgoing.

Wireshark on my incoming port shows Handshakes.

I think there is something wrong with incoming connections.

I am the previous poster; >Guest on Sat, 17 Dec 2016 16:09:42 GMT

I've reverted to 2.48, I can see the incoming connections in peer list.
Incoming Connections's Placed section is getting up and down constantly, though I think it is normal (working as intended) as I got incoming peers now.

I can't test if the overall bandwidth is better with 2.48 or not as my internet bandwidth is narrow.


Tixati is not a free program but I like it anyway, It would be good to get 2.49 fixed.

Thanks

this is in response to the last comment! tixati is 100% free program, although donations can help its development, they are not forced upon its users.

By free I meant free as in freedom, where you can change the program -some say open source for this, but they often mean free-. Tixati is gratis; it is without a cost, but not free. That would be great if Tixati was free. If it was free, we wouldn't need to wait for developer's fix about the issue. Provided you can program, you could have easily written a fix and apply it.

Provided you're competent enough to know C++14 with 300K lines of code, which is cross platform compatible and have looked towards the C++17 standards. "Anyone can code" doesn't mean anyone SHOULD be able to code and modify a free-source piece of software. There aren't enough maintainers/ code reviewers out there for what we HAVE already.

yea man this thing is free in every sense of the word. can you code? if yes then talk to the guys and perhaps they will let you join the core team so you can contribute. open-source doesnt literaly mean free, its just well... open to all like that name indicates. and they do offer a linux based binary install, with that you can do what you please as long as you adhere to the gnu/linux rules. the guys have done a great job with this software.
