What can i say? Excellent! 5 stars by comicfan Apr 09, 2008 (Read all my 5 reviews)
Well, I was looking for an IRC for myself, never really used one. Tried many that others suggested, nothing, didn't work, hard to adjust to. HydraIRC was simple, had it working in no time! Thank you HydraIRC, you saved me a lot of grief :-) showShow review details
Like this free puppy. 5 stars by Chazzz Nov 11, 2007 (Read all my 9 reviews)
Used mIRC for many years. Like this free puppy. No annoying flash screens. Very light weight and easier to configure than mIRC. Tell your buds to get this one. showShow review details
Lovely powerful irc chat client 5 stars by Nisha_ Sep 12, 2006 (Read all my 5 reviews)
My ISP had blocked DCC send and many programs more rated than Hydra also I tried but failed. (Like MIRC, Trillian etc.) Then Hydra took full control and bypassed my ISP's restrictions and opened full DCC chat/share/send. Thanks HydraIRC. showShow review details
Not perfect, but almost there 4 stars by wackypy Jan 16, 2006 (Read all my 2 reviews)
I've probably used every Windows IRC client out there, but this is certainly the best. Among other reasons: it's free, it's very fast and efficient (it uses very few system resources and can handle many/large channels), it hasn't crashed once in 10s of hours of use, the interface is well thought out and uses window panes that you can monitor constantly (unlike other IRC clients that popup multiple windows that only annoy you), it's highly configurable since the configuration file is open, etc. The only drawback is that it's incomplete software, but the more people that support it, the sooner it'll be improved, so I suggest you try it out! showShow review details
Groundbreaking, but room for improvement 4 stars by sorcererkoi Jan 08, 2006 (Read all my 2 reviews)
As a Linux user, I was never able to find an Windows IRC client that would make me set aside my beloved IRSSI. mIRC isn't free, and every other option out there is unpolished at best. HydraIRC changed all that. Not only is it free and open source, but is packed with so many features that I actually use! Channel monitoring allows me to see what's going on in every channel, without having to flip around; and the event log allows me to see not only when someone says my name or messages me, but exactly what was said and when. This client is not perfect though. It's still in active development, so some features are unpolished. The options screen is mainly a modified text editor that takes raw inputs; though the important stuff has a shiny interface, and it's easy to figure out the rest. All in all though, Hydra is a wonderful client for people that are tired of mIRC and its ilk. showShow review details
