I created a protocol v3 torrent and am currently seeding it both on I2P and the clearnet. The issue is that I have around 10 I2P peers and 25 clearnet peers. Out of the clearnet peers, 4 of them are using Tixati version 3.42, which should support the protocol v3 features. However, instead of directly connecting to those 4 Tixati users, I’m only connecting with other clients.

To test, I switched my client to qBittorrent, and now the 4 Tixati users are able to connect to me. This is puzzling because both qBittorrent and Tixati are set to their default settings.

Despite everything being in its default state, Tixati isn't connecting to other Tixati clients.

Why aren't the Tixati clients connecting to each other? Isn't Tixati-to-Tixati supposed to be optimized, similar to how qBittorrent works with qBittorrent?

I'm confused about what the problem could be.

What is in the status column for those Tixati peers? Are you sure that Tixati has an open port? Does your Tixati seem to have any trouble connecting to anyone else?
