In addition to standardBitTorrent client-sharing functions, Tixati provides integral chatrooms with channel chat as well asencrypted private messaging.[2] Chatrooms can be either public or secret. Users are allowed to optionally share lists ofmagnet or URL links which are then searchable across all channels a user is joined to. Browsing a specific user's share list is also supported. The channels also allow for streaming audio and video media.[3]
