Tixati for Windows or Linux (such as Ubuntu & Redhat) is the best free Torrent client but not an open-source one. It is meant for those who want a simple interface, powerful features without any ads and malware…
Just as Transmission in the default torrent client on Ubuntu, KTorrent is the default torrent client on Kubuntu, KDE Neon, and any other Linux distribution that used KDE Plasma as the default desktop. KTorrent isn’t the simplest or the most lightweight options available out there but it is certainly one of the best. I had the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and Transmission 2.92-3ubuntu2. The browser handles the magnet link and opens Transmission, but Transmission cannot see the torrent file. Pasting the URL of magnet link didn't work for me but installing the QT version did. First remove transmission-gtk and then install transmission-qt. RTorrent – command line Bit Torrent client in Ubuntu Linux by Pradeep Kumar Updated October 18, 2020 As a Linux system admin we love to download and upload larger files using bit torrent clients from command line or from terminal. This time Ubuntu 18.10 ‘Cosmic Cuttlefish’ comes with some minor changes. If you are using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release then hardly you will find any difference except for some performance improvements and bug fixes. As usual, It comes with a set fantastic desktop environment – Mate, KDE or Gnome Desktop (default). Whatever may be the user.
Like most of the BitTorrent clients, Tixati is also a peer- to peer file sharing program that uses BitTorrent protocol to download content from the decentralized network of systems. It can easily open Torrent files and Magnet links with just a torrent click. In addition to a chat function, the program also includes numerous details about the network currently in use and others. Such as Speed and data statistics are displayed in real-time; DHT, PEX, and Magnet Link support, peer selection and choking; RC4 connection encryption for added security; NAT router hole-punching, RSS, IP Filtering, Event Scheduler, and more…
Tixati is not only available for Windows 10/8/7, even we can install it on Linux operating systems such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, CentOS, RedHat, and more. Here we are using Ubuntu 20.04 LTs, however, the steps will be the same for Ubuntu 19.04/18.04/16.04 and other similar Linux distros.

Open command terminal
Tixati is not available in the official repository, thus we can’t install it using the Ubuntu software center, therefore, we need to download the package. Thus, either use the keyboard shortcut i.e CTRL+ALT+T, or go to Applications to find the Command terminal.
Run System update
Before moving further run the system update to let all the installed packages achieve their latest states and the system refresh the repository packages.
