Chatzilla works

tmk mIRC only runs a countdown timer at startup. Like WinRar it never actually stops working.

Sometimes it randomly decides to not let you through and it shuts the program down. It's relatively rare, though; it happened to me maybe 1/15-1/20 startups. And all you have to do is try again and it goes back to the normal timer.

I broke down and bought mIRC last fall. I figured $20 was worth it for the 8+ years of use I've gotten out of the program. And let me tell you, starting mIRC up without any kind of nagging is amazing.

You can try IRSSI. Best one out there

Wow I did not realize you had to pay for XChat on Windows... ha

You can always use PChat. It's pretty much like XChat but freeware. Not sure if botnet but it's been working great on my work computer for the last couple of months.

This is pretty awesome.

I use chatzilla. Which blows because My main browser is Chrome. So I have firefox open ONLY to use my IRC.

leafchat is okay, it's never given me problems

it's not very flashy but it does everything I need it to do, ie download my animes and chat with strangers online
