Searching for IRC application

[b4u]

Hi,

I'm looking for good IRC programs around. I would like to have the following features:

[1] Enable to create FServer
[2] Enable to XDCC Serving
[3] Safe program: stable and with no backdoors (at least known ones )
[4] Resume file transfer
[5] Multiple servers simultaneously

[6] (Any extra features you see important, post them too )

I'm used to Polaris ... what are your opinions about it? It seems it has been discontinued .

Without a doubt.

eheh I was expecting to get mIRC answers I believe it's a good product, don't use it for a time now, but I'll give it a try. It's version 6.12 now, last one I tried was like version 4-5 (if not older) ... anyway, polaris is based on mIRC anyway

So, is there any other software I should bother try? (I'll first try mIRC)

PIRCH owns all.
eh, no. not really. I'm probably the only person left int the world still using it. I dont know why either.

Theres lots of IRC clients out there:

Take your pick, i'm sure most of them support the features you are looking for.

Once you get mIRC, check out www.mircscripts.org (I think thats the url). Anyways, they've got some major scripts these days if you can't stand the vanilla look.

Polaris is a script for mIRC...
there are a lot of similar/clone of it. mostly used are SysReset and Invision

Gotta love a client that can be scripted in perl.

Polaris one is pretty good

And Python (and ruby I'm pretty sure too)

Unfortunately irssi only supports perl now, I guess they're pondering a big rewrite, which would add Python support and other stuff.

Thanks for the replies


I'll use this thread to ask another IRC-related question:

I have 2 diferent systems, one with Win XP Pro + Polaris, and another with Win 2K Pro + mIRC 6.12. I made nothing more that to install the irc clients (Polaris was just copy to a directory, mIRC was with setup).

Now I have 2 diferent behavious: on the WinXPPro+Polaris, if I open the Internet Explorer and put irc://irc.server.net/, it will call the Polaris (at least if it's open), and asks immediatly if I want to change connection to that server, or add a connection to it. This means I don't have to create the server in the server list to open it, it's a lot quicker.

On the Win2kPro+mIRC, if I do the exact same thing, the browser just shows page not found ...

Anyone knows how to make it auto-try-to-connect?

Thanks

IRC through IE? Holy Ghetto Sorry can't help you. I just do /server <server name here> in the irc window. And /server -n <server name here> will open the server in a new window allowing for multiple network connections.
