Advanced IRC is an IRC client which completely follows the RFC. Supports multiple servers, CTCP, full DCC chat/file support (including SOCKS5 support (Passive sockets)), VBScript script engine, ActiveX plugins, encryption/decryption, URL catching, etc. -- NOT FOR NEWBIE USERS! Please have some IRC experience before downloading.

mIRC is one of the best Internet Relay Chat (IRC) clients for its feature set and scripting capabilities. It’s fully configurable with an intuitive user interface, an events handler, and full send-and-receive capabilities for direct client connection (DCC) files. At any given time, the largest of the IRC networks may have as many as 40,000 participants, so finding someone with your particular interests or files that you want to share is rarely difficult. mIRC supports chatting and trading files on several different channels at once, and the interface makes switching between channels a snap. Possibly the coolest feature of mIRC is the ability to create features. If there’s something you want added to the program or some functionality that doesn’t exist, you can use the scripting features to implement your desired changes. A word of warning: mIRC may not be right for the beginning user. It’s not as easy to use as some of the more mainstream chat clients such as ICQ or Trillian, but for the advanced user, this chat client is hard to beat.
