Just got a new harddrive, need to re-up on all my programs. I had been using gaim, but it would let me transfer files (I couldn’t direct connect). I tried pidgin 2.2 but it seems linux based. so what are my other options? requirements are tabbed IM windows, file transfer capability, and the ability to turn off all the annoying bullshit ---

Pidgin is Gaim, just renamed and updated. There is a win32 download for it, check out www.pidgin.im. As far as the direct connect not working, that still might be a problem… ---

I personally like Trillian. I use it because I have friends that use MSN exclusively. Only gripe that I have with it is that links in profiles don’t show, and cannot be clicked. Trillian does have tabbed IM windows for each buddy list section. But I wouldn’t use it if I didn’t want MSN use too. ---

Middleman installs over AIM like DeadAim but Free: [http://www.mymiddleman.com/](http://www.mymiddleman.com/) > ``` > * group their instant message windows into one tabbed window > * log their instant messages (normal, secure, directly connected) > * log their chat messages > * log their buddy's last profile > * log their buddy's status events (sign on/off, away back) > * log files from direct connections > * sign on multiple screen names at once > * remove advertisements on their buddy list > * rename buddies on their buddy list > * set their idle status to anything, anytime > > ``` ---
