I have been using xchat for years, but lately it hangs all the time ( i'm using silverex.org builds ). So i need a temporary alternative. Something with multiple server support.

Oh .. and no , i won't use mirc.

I always used irssi. UNIX, Windows, OpenVMS, everything.

Perhaps IRC Clients for Windows would be of interest to you.

Miranda IM and Pidgin support IRC, and multiple IRC servers, in addition to IM services. I haven't used MirandaIM's support for a while, but Pidgin was lacking in scriptability.

HydraIRC would be my choice, easy to use, free open source and portable.

Is there active development of HydraIRC going on? I used to use it, but it appeared to have been abandoned, so I switched to X-Chat. – Samir Talwar Dec 19 '09 at 14:51
well, the latest version 0.3.165 was released on January 2009. "Contrary to popular belief HydraIRC is NOT dead, I and many other users still use it on a daily basis, granted it's not updated very often these days" – Molly7244 Dec 19 '09 at 15:26
