Never heard of IRC before?

IRC is a protocol for communicating (chatting) over the internet. It stands for Internet Relay Chat and it's one of the most popular chat protocols, even though the protocol is quite old.

  • Silverex - XChat for Windows. Free software.

  • mIRC - Popular and old IRC client, maybe not be the best though. Shareware (free trial 30 days).
