I want to get tixati off my main computer and onto a dedicated notebook computer, with tixati the only application running, so it doesn't interfere with my other programs. I have never had this with other programs such as photoshop, kmplayer, or googlearth.

After a few hours of opening and closing a few applications, my computer's performance starts to get choppy and fragmented my mouse is stalling or even freezing up, which i haven't seen in many years - certainly not on this particular machine. What's worse, Tixati is starting to play havoc with the computer's memory (I have 3 gigs installed, the maximum that windows xp can use).

I have upload and download set to about 250-250, which apparently is too high. Shut off Tixati, and speed goes back to normal immediately. Immediately after restart, Tixati is behaving itself, but tonight i ran a speedtest and it was 2mbs download - should have been 11 or 12. Well, I'm still having problems w version 1.96. As I indicated, there are many potential causes for this, yes, including Tixati in its current state but don't rule out other factors. I suspect you are really experiencing the opposite, that system overload is crippling bandwidth. Channels also use some bandwidth, especially when streaming but I am not seeing it 'soak up' bandwidth needlessly. It does for sure use all available UL bandwidth which I hoped it would. I run tixati unthrottled as I seed 260 torrents. Even when not in this extreme state, channel connectivity is iffy. with v 1.96 on WinXP32 I still experience the occasional CPU surge which lasts 30-60 seconds and causes all communications to halt and channels to disconnect. Lastly there is the program itself and yes, Tixati is still a work in development. US Robotics claimed abuse and suggested I get a CISCO router (for several thousand dollars!) I switched to another brand and it is much better, sometimes going for a week or two before I reboot it. after 8 hours or so I'd have to reboot it to regain normal bandwidth. My previous LAN router couldn't handle torrent traffic well at all. My ISP is very supportive and switched my cable modem out to a newer, more robust model. When I started running Tixati, it overloaded both my router and cable modem, causing a marked slowdown over time. In practice, I have a 15 mb/s DL /2 mb/s UL service.
