It has a really easy to use User-Agent switcher so it can fake being a different torrent client. I’d love to use it however because of this it is a pretty much universally based client.
It is possible to do on other clients however it isn’t a dedicated menu in settings.
I believe the main reason is that Tixati supports spoofing the peer-id to allow it to appear as any other client to a tracker. This would allow you to use it to bypass tracker client whitelists.
A reason why you might not want to use it on a private tracker though is that it includes wasted pieces in the download it reports to trackers. This means that Tixati will report more download than other clients would, hurting your ratio.
Does anybody know why Tixati is banned on private trackers? I switched from it quite a while ago but they didn’t really say why.

Your tracker should tell you why
That’s what I hoped but the FAQ doesn’t say why. All it says is that it only accepts two clients, the S-tier ones on this list.
