Best IRC client?

[TheAnvil]

Hi,

Could someone please recommend me a good IRC client for Mac?
Needs to be able to do SSL and XDCC.

Thanks!

Mozilla's "Seamonkey" has an IRC module, I find it easiest to use of all the IRC clients I've tried, not sure if it can do what you want.

Free to download and try...

I have used X-Chat Aqua in the past. The most recent incarnation is in the App Store as X-Chat Azure.

Colloquy is another popular IRC.

Textual (in App Store) is my current favorite. Actively supported and developed...

And if you're so inclined you can download the source and compile it yourself for free.

I use Textual now, which I'm very happy with.

I use LimeChat which is available for free on App Store. I am not very much into IRC but LimeChat works like it should. Never caused any problems to me.

+1. Textual is awesome. LimeChat is quite good too (it's free), though I found it lacked a few features that Textual has.

That makes sense: Textual is a modified version of Limechat.

I like Colloquy. As already mentioned, Colloquy is free to download.

For iOS too

Textual and Lingo

I've used Textual for quite a while, and just noticed folks talk about Lingo (which is free in the Mac App Store). Lingo just submitted for a huge upgrade to 2.0 three days ago, it'll pop up soon.
