XChat

For many years, IRC has been a very popular chat protocol and has been used by people all over the world. As the time passed, IRC has lost some of its popularity, but still, the number of IRC clients is rising more and more. Unfortunately, most of these clients are difficult to use, especially for a first-time user and also lacks some useful options. In spite of this, there is a software that is simple enough to be used by any user, but at the same time has a lot of useful features. It's called XChat.

The installation of the program is a quick and simple process and can be completed even by beginners. The program can run on every version of Microsoft Windows and there is also a version for Linux. The system requirements are lower compared to other IRC clients.

The interface of XChat resembles other IRC clients, but it has more functions and seems much easier to use. After clicking on the program's executable, the user is presented with a window, asking the user to enter some personal information, like his name, his nickname and to select a network he would like to connect to. After entering this information, the user will be connected to the chosen network and can select a desired channel. At this point, everything is familiar for an IRC user.

The software features a lot of options for customizing the functionality and also the look and feel. Like many other IRC clients, XChat supports plugins and scripts that can make your IRC experience far more enjoyable.
