It's not? I have profiles turned on in Trillian... works flawlessly for me...

And it's spelled Trillian.

Agree, I used Trillian for a few months and found it a bit too buggy and bloated for my taste.

How long ago was it you tried Trillian? The older versions were truly a POS. Trillian 3, though, I think is good... and the version of 2.x released not long before 3 was good.

I'm using Trillian Pro 3.0 and now refuse to use anything other than that. GAIM for linux.

It was a while ago, perhaps I'll give the new Trillian a chance. What I'd like to know is, are there any clients which offer painless file transfers? My only gripe with GAIM - and it's a gripe I've had with all the clients I've tried - is file transfer. For that I have to log off and use the official client (AIM or ICQ, depending who I'm sending to or receiving from).

File transfer worked fine for me on Trillian. I only sent to people on MSN though.

I use an older version of AIM (5.1) w/ DeadAIM

I use a somewhat older version of AIM with AIMutation, and it's great. However, I recently downloaded Trillian Basic 3.0 and am really, really liking what I see. The old 0.74f was garbage, but this version is really sweet :thumbsup:

Miranda is perfect, low cpu, low memory use and it works with alot of services.

trillian. i like the hidden smilies and sounds. 😛

 

[Spikesoldier]

ive never had a problem with file transfer with trillian 2.x or 3, using icq aim and msn. i dont have a Y! id so i dont use that one, but it would probably work i would assume.

I don't think that there are any non-native clients that offer painless file transfers. I know that Trillian has had its share of difficulties. In previous versions, I'd even occasionally resort to installing/running a native client for file transfer. I've not had any problems with file transfers in the latest version, though.

😱 No wonder some of you don't like Trillian... if I were using 0.74f, I'd hate it too!

I agree, 3.0 is much better 😉
