Anybody know of a good AIM client?

[I.S.T.]

I've gotten tired of Trillian and I don't want ot deal with the offical client's ads.

What was so bad with Trillian?

 

[I.S.T.]

It's displaying colors wrong and it hates unicode with a passion that cannot be denied.

 

[Natoma]

Unicode? huh? You use TP2.012? Unicode works fine here, and the colors are fine.

Try a reinstall?

 

[StefanS]

Try GAIM, it is really cool.

 

[Saem]

I used to use Trillian, then they didn't update in forever and I said screw it. So I found miranda. It's better than Gaim in quite a few ways. Gaim is cool for the nix support, however.

In anycase, go here.

Try a reinstall?

And I will admit I have no fucking idea what that is.

Trillian Pro 2.012.....

 

[I.S.T.]

Oh. I thoguht it was a codec like file or something. I don't have the cash to get Trillian Pro, otherwise I'd try it.

I tried miranda, just couldn't seem to like it.
It seemed...clunky, and a bit of a PITA to set up.

It's pretty good now a days. And the PITA to setup is worth it, because unlike many other IMs, it allows you to setup your incomming and outgoing ports for any of the protcols. This means I can actually send and receive files from behind a NAT without having to forward specific ports that are "fixed".

Not to mention the fact that the plugins are cool. The history ones needs some work, I might be half tempted to make my own, it's kinda crappy right now.
