Why do you keep linking to thumbnails, can't see anything with them. Anyway like the guest did, the last 2 are

For everyone's convenience.
The RAM you see in Task Manager is just the working amount. Both qB and Tixati can use the same amount of committed RAM, but qB needs 80MB in use and Tixati 730MB in use to work in the moment apparently.
Tixati is a heavier application so it probably takes more, either way a more useful comparison requires the commit/private bytes. Maybe it also has something to do with Tixati using one large profile file while qB relies on per-entry profile files. Core2.dat versus .fastresumes. Not counting RSS and such, I've not used RSS for qB in years and don't remember how it handles that. Maybe that's just one big file.
You can find commit/close enough to commit in Task Manager's "Information" tab under column "virtual memory" or similar. I use Process Explorer for that info, but it should tell you the same thing. Tixati uses the same amount under TM's virtual memory as PE's Private Bytes on my end.
With 900MB Core2 and 330MB RSS, a fresh start is maybe 5.1GB PB for me.
After about 18 hours for Tixati and 96 hours of qBittorrent..
Tixati 33K total entries, 13.4K set to download with most being magnet links that will never reach the next stage
13GB PB, 7.7GB WS
qBittorrent 9.3K total entries, 2.8K set to download with most being in the torrent stage but stalled.
5.6GB PB and 1GB WS.
Not sure qBittorrent is lighter to run. Maybe at base, but Tixati might scale better after 20K entries.
The mostly-stalled qB usually sits around 0-1% CPU usage, Tixati sits at 8% at all times which is one thread.
Neither does everything better than the other. Doubt there is a torrent client that does everything better.
qB probably works better generally for downloading with under 5K torrent entries loaded, less CPU, less RAM, less whatever probably. Only downside might be that it requires individual files for every torrent entry so any time you want to save the whole session it's 5K files being written and any changes requires writing to any entries you've modified.
qB can have a tag and category, I think for Tixati you can only have one. So you can't filter 2 different systems at once to pinpoint entries more accurately.
But it's probably better to rely on sub-foldering either way. That way you still know what's what outside of qB and Tixati.
IIRC qB has a bug at least with the versions I've used(v4.3.7 and older) where it might take almost nothing at all with 800 or less torrents(Maybe 50MB commit) but then suddenly take 1GB+ with 801 or more. Idk exact numbers for all of that these days as I've always been above 3K entries for at least 3 years now so it always takes around 5.5GB.
