PChat IRC is an open-source IRC client developed to help you chat with your friends and transfer files. It is based entirely on X-Chat so users accustomed to working with this particular IRC app should find PChat IRC’s layout and configuration settings very familiar.

When you run the tool for the first time, a configuration panel pops out letting you provide details about the user (nickname and username) and check out the list with networks. You may add, remove or edit the networks, select the favored ones, as well as skip network list on startup and show only the favorite items.

The main window looks clean and simple. You are given the freedom to hide or reveal several features from the view mode, namely menu and topic bars, user list, user list buttons, and mode buttons.

You can choose between a multi-tabbed layout and tree display. What’s more, you can easily open a new server tab, channel tab, server window and channel window. You may enhance the utility’s functionality with the aid of plugins and scripts.

PChat IRC lets you easily connect or disconnect to/from the server and join several channels. The tool reveals a list with the available channels, provides info about them (channel, users and topic), and lets you perform search operations by channel name or topic and save the list to a file.

The application comes with a rich pack of features for helping you manage a list with banned users, work with a character chart so you can easily insert various symbols while chatting with your friends, and enable a direct chat.

When it comes to file transfers, you can upload or download items, resume the active process, open the folder where the items are saved directly from the dedicated window, as well as accept incoming file transfers.

PChat IRC allows you to keep a list with ignored users, check out a log with details about the entire process, as well as view a list with grabbed URLs.

A comprehensive suite of settings helps you alter the text box in terms of main font, background image, colored nicknames, transparent background and timestamps, activate the spell checking option for the text inserted in the input box, and opt for automatic nickname completion.

You can show host names in the user list, sort users in an ascending or descending order, track the ‘Away’ status of users and mark them in a different color, and change the colors for the text, marking text and interface.

Alerts can be defined for making the application blink tray icon, blink taskbar or make a beep sound on channel, private or highlighted messages. You can enter custom messages that appear when you quit, leave the channel or you are away.

You can log conversations and insert time stamps in logs, play sound notifications upon various actions, set up proxy parameters, as well as configure file transfers by automatically accepting files and limiting the maximum file transfer speed per uploads or downloads.

In conclusion, PChat IRC comes with a rich-featured suite of functions and configuration settings for helping you chat with your friends. The intuitive layout makes this program suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
