Best windows IRC Client?

RF · November 19th, 2003

As the topic says. I use mirc because its the only one I know.

Some things im look for are minimze to tray, and better xdcc handling. I was trying to get a little quick refernce guide to win2k group policy, and I set the dcc to ignore, I was stuck waiting 150 seconds for another chance, once I got another spot I had to wait farking 20 mins to get the file again

The bot gave me this:
"*** You have a DCC pending, Set your client to receive the transfer. (150 seconds remaining until timeout)"

So why didnt it keep trying to resend the file, or was it, but mirc was being dumb

?

i just use UPP, which is a script for mirc, but it does minimize to tray and i havent had any dccallow problems. http://upp.monkey-pirate.com/

mIRC 6.x can minimize to tray, it is somewhere in the options. Just play around.

As for XDCC, I've never used it, so I can't comment. :P

I found the minimize to tray thing, never thought to look where it was.

Yeah, just go for a script, they can do amazing things...

I used to use BersIRC in the past, but ended up dropping it because of how buggy it was. It's still not a bad client.

Right now, like many people, I use mIRC just because it works. I also like its elaborate scripting system. I've used it to make a few scripts of my own.

Trillian basically.. rather nice and simple... but yes... its just simple

mIRC 6.12 with SysReset does the job for me.

I use mIRC 6.12 with the Invision plug-in. I think Invision has options to solve the problem you are talking about.

I'm afraid I don't have a link, just google it.

There are many IRC servers, same from mIRC, some modified mIRC scripts (things like PNP, Polaris, etc) and some DOS styles, like the old *****X

Trillian works fine for the few times I use it.
