The ads in ICQ are annoying... I agree with Hex, QIP is much simpler and without ads :smile20:! I use QIP. On my mobile phone, I use Jimm.

I don't know, maybe I'm just not well-informed. But I have QIP installed, and it usually works perfectly. But today, it says "Service temporarily unavailable." Otherwise, everything seems to be fine.

Amsn is acting up... it's scary. I decided to download QIP, went to the website, BUT! What from the list should I download:
Setup file - 1.8 Mb (Mirror1) (Mirror2)
ZIP Archive - 1.7 Mb (Mirror1) (Mirror2)
RAR Archive - 1.3 Mb (Mirror1) (Mirror2)

Mirror 2... you can also use Mirror 1, but the speed is very low there, at least it was for me.

Downloaded it... but it says the server is temporarily unavailable. This happens sometimes... or is it just me (as always)?

from the Igromania selection "what to use instead of ICQ" all replacements (including QIP) are non-functional and inconvenient; only &RO worked well.
Now I use ICQ (even though it has glitches).

Compared them... I don't see anything fundamentally new. It's essentially the same. So, it doesn't matter. Both will be installed... just in case. If one glitches, I'll switch to the other. The only thing that appeals to me is that Hex said Quip consumes less traffic (I hope that's true)... That's a significant plus for me.

I installed Agent again today. I'm happy about it...
But what is this spam you're talking about? I've never seen any spam in Agent... although, maybe I'm the only one.

You're just young, that's why. When you grow up and become a person, you'll be flooded with spam; otherwise, there's no point in targeting someone who doesn't have any money.

QIP is the best.

1) Simplicity
2) No ads
3) Low bandwidth usage
4) Security. Supports encrypted messaging.
5) Constant updates
6) Can see all invisible users in the chat. Has a super mode: invisible to everyone.
7) Built-in anti-spam module
8) All-seeing eye: allows you to see who is adding or removing you, viewing your status, and so on.

I also use QIP, and a definite plus is that it consumes very little bandwidth. I tried ICQ, but it didn't work well; it had a lot of glitches, and it offered fewer features.

Yes, Magnus, you are quite big. We are, like, the same age.
And I constantly get spam in my email inbox (registered to me), but not here.
And what kind of advertising in ICQ is bothering you?
I don't understand... Is it the one that goes in a strip at the bottom?

QIP forever, I love creating skins for them.

What a degenerate question – of course, QIP! :) Although it has fewer features than a universal client like Miranda. But Miranda has so many settings that it's not very user-friendly. However, QIP Infinum will be released soon, which will combine the features of Miranda with the interface and convenience of QIP.
