Miranda pack is best icq client
 

And not just icq,msn and yahoo also.I tested varius client for im systems,from qip,trilian,original miranda and finaly gaim,but they all been problematic for some reason.Either they were slow,doesnt have some important features,use toomuch memory(icq6)and other.
Someone reccomend miranda pack on other forum and i decided to test,and it finaly work as it should be.Compared to original miranda,it have better skin and it doesnt have icq timeout.Plus it have all important features,like subgroups which is very important especialy in this biz.

Using Digsby atm. Used Trillian since almost it came out and still love it, but trying digsby out for awhile. Some getting used to on it.

on miranda's website though its says he doesnt have time to work on it

I'm using miranda... pretty cool :thumbsup

Well latest version works perfectly fine.No need for updates.

I'm sure Yahoo would disagree...they change their API all the friggin time.

In that case is enough to download yahoo.dll from original miranda.This package also need download od yahoo.dll and msn.dll to make yahoo/msn part working.

You think your average user will know all that? I'm sure this is a good IM client, but it's not intended for the mainstream market...people need simple one click solutions to buy into a product, or else it's too complicated and they'll look for something else.

I've been using Miranda for my ICQ needs for quite awhile now with no problems...
