The popular peer-peer file sharing program Tixati is available for Linux as well as Windows. An earlier post described how to use Tixati in Windows.
To install it in Ubuntu / Linux Mint :
Go to the Tixati download page for Linux and choose the appropriate .deb package (whether 32-bit or 62-bit) and start the download.
Once downloaded, open Terminal and browse to the directory where this package is available and give this command with below syntax :
sudo dpkg-i nameoftixatidebpackage
In this case, it was a 64 bit package:  tixati_1.96-1_amd64.deb, so the command will be :
sudo dpkg-i  tixati_1.96-1_amd64.deb
Let the installation complete. Tixati will now show up in the “Internet” section or simply search for it using the Ubuntu unity interface search.
Happy downloading.
