Hi, ladies and/or gents: I love Tixati.
I work in the middle of nowhere half the year and our bandwidth is limited. Once in awhile, when I know no one else is online, I'll download some stuff with Tixati. Sometimes if there is someone else online, I'll download some stuff, but I set my Incoming limit to 5 or 10 kbs. With the bittorrent client I used to use, this was no problem. Even though it was inferior in every other way, it worked for this purpose. Thus far, Tixati, has not.
My problem is that, if I set the incoming and outgoing bandwidth to 10, it gobbles up bandwidth well over and above that limitation. Not on the Tixati screen, mind you: I can monitor my internet speed/bandwidth usage through my VPN.
Here's what I am talking about...
(Pic removed by Mod)
On the AirVPN side, the speed bounces between about 80 kbs and 200 kbs when the Tixati bandwidth is limited to 10. If I shut off Tixati, AirVPN immediately drops down to close to zero.
Is this normal, or is there... something else going on?

the bandwidth your Tixati generates comes from:
1. DHT (so you can find the files that adhere to a magnetlink)
2. Channels (chat,sharing,forum etc)
check out the settings, you can turn both off

All other activity must be taken into account
I'm assuming the picture shows maybe > 10-15 KiBps more than your data.
This includes protocol (minimal)... channel... and DHT data.
If you want to minimize data usage turn off all heavy sharing channels after you create your cache (you can search your cache).. ie leave them BUT DO NOT CLEAR CACHE
If you don't need to announce extra locations or are getting heavily seeded content you can also turn off DHT. Note this invalidates channels period, so you need to turn on DHT for channels.
Also know that any channel which has alot of shares uses up latent bandwidth (about 10KiBps per 1000 shares give or take, this is averaged over 30 second sharing intervals). This also doesn't take into account those who stream audio (extra) or video (ALOT extra) of bandwidth.
With other questions please post below :)
