AdiIRC for Windows

User Reviews

• Very nice IRC client

  NitalarbralatinApril 10, 2013

  Pros

  Finally, after trying the top 5 most popular IRC clients for Windows I found one that's just what I need. I will not mention the others by name but this AdiIRC tops them all. It's free, it's slim (small download), has SSL support, it's fast, has slick UI with plugins and themes, it's stable (been in development for over 6 years). These are all features that I was looking in other clients.

  Cons

  The only negative I have to say about AdiIRC is that it was hard to find on the Internet. In most comparisons of IRC clients, AdiIRC is not even mentioned.

  Summary

  This is a very nice and slim IRC client, that in my opinion beats all other IRC clients (including both freeware and shareware clients).

• A good free IRC client

  dragonquestAugust 20, 2006

  Pros

  Its a pretty clean product - free, no nags, no ads, no spyware and is pretty light on the system being only ~450k in size. However you do need the .NET framework to run it. Good thing is that if you don't have it, the installer will download it for you. The client has all the basic features you'd expect from any decent IRC client. Plus it has Winamp support which is cool if you spend a lot of time listening to music while chatting. You can control Winamp from the client only, even launch it.

  Cons

  Its just not as polished as mIRC. Plus on launch it has an annoying QuickConnect window with the server options always being the default ones whether you visit it or not. The interface is pretty plain and could be better.
