    Great free client. But i still prefer mIRC.
    Yes you have to pay for mIRC but only once then its yours forever.

    Not even close to mIRC? Are you kidding? Free and opensource vs 30 days of nag-screens until you have to pay? Hydra does everything I use IRC for, and even has some features I use that don't come with mIRC.

    This is a really good client, but still doesn't even come close to mIRC.

    Did tannman1 just mention pirch? Hey tannman1, 10 years ago called.. they want their IRC Client back.

    Anyway, hydraIRC is alright but doesn't have anywhere near the experience/time tested-ness that mirc has. mirc has always been the #1 IRC client for Windows and I really don't see that changing any time soon.

    Have to disagree...I've had both on my computer for a couple years and I rarely use mirc anymore. Can't live without the channel monitor.
