Seriously, I think xchat or xchat-gnome is great. It hasn't a lot of functions like bitchx but is easy and it hasn't crashed on my machine. But does any1 know how to open automaticly new windows - or something similar - when we are /msg'ed ? It's the only function for which I prefer an X program to do IRC. > anyone).

Try xchat and xchat-gnome and tell me if it's better than mirc. - browsing : Windows is largely superior for this. - ftping : If u want a point & click app : try Iglooftp or gftp. > browsing, ftping).
