Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Internet Relay Chat is not as well-known as ICQ, even though it successfully combines chat and messaging without annoying ads. The IRC network is a virtual meeting place where people from all over the world can meet and talk. With mIRC, you can choose from an unlimited number of existing chat rooms based on personal interests, or you can create your own channels with family and friends. IRC is more advanced than simple messenging, so it may take a while to get started. With a bit of browsing, though, you'll find that the mIRC interface allows easy access to IRC features. It guides you through the initial stages, including selecting from a wide list of servers. You can connect to more than one IRC server at once and chat through proxy. By creating your own channel, you can even set up a virtual meeting with colleagues. This program suits advanced users keen to expand their chat-client functionalities. For first-time users, mIRC offers the most functionality of any chat program available, which can be overwhelming at first--but if you read the help files you'll be on your way to using all the features mIRC has to offer.

Version: mIRC 6.33
Pros: mIRC is an excellent IRC client. It is very easy to use and it features advanced tools for more experienced users. I highly recommend the usage of this product!
Cons: The software prompts you to register every time it is started. This isn't that annoying but I think mIRC should have a donations page instead of an annoying prompt to pay $20.00.

"Good---IF, you know all the commands and sites"
Pros: It's discrete. I was able to download movies and apps easily many years ago. Interface is the same from about 8+ years ago with some refinement.
Cons: You need to know all the old commands like "get file" "list" etc. I forgot most of the commands and downloading files requires you to wait in the queue. I suspect most movies from studios are d/l from mIRC.
