Any one use this to share a folder on an irc client? And if so, how? Can't find any place to choose a folder and am not getting a response to my emails to support.
The best IRC client!

I've been using Snak for years, and I'm glad to see it's still getting better and better! I used to have a license and I was thinking to get a new one, so I went to the website and found out about the pledge to kiva.org. What to say... Great! I felt even more motivated to send the money, since it would be used to help those people. I totally appreciate their support to Kiva and I wish more developers would do such things!
The only thing I really would like to see is the possibility to have a DCC transfer window open "in the background", like a private message (basically, without making it the active window). Apart from this, I'm completely satisfied with the program.
By the way, the support is also very good. I remember sending info on a bug to the developer: he replied and said he'd work on it, and in the following Snak version I found the bugs had been fixed.
I did try other IRC clients, but Snak is still the best by far!

Great initiative. Supporting kiva.org microcredit with PayPal payments - Version: 5.3.3, 11/15/2007 05:01PM PST

I'm so completely thrilled to see that the authors of Snak have pledged to give all PayPal payments to kiva.org (http://kiva.org) Kiva is one of my favorite charities because they help by giving poor people access to small loans so they can help themselves. It's totally different than writing a check to a random charity to do with as they please. It's called micro-credit afaik
So, when you pay for or renew a Snak license, the money will be sent to kiva and loaned out to someone in the third world. Each lender loans out only a small amount like $25 which goes towards the full amount that the loaner has requested. The Snak authors are even publishing their page at kiva so you can check that they actually do what they have promised. Right now they've already loaned out 18 separate chunks of money. Way to go, Snak users :-) You can read more about their pledge at http://www.snak.com/KivaPledge.html
Oh, and since this is a review I better end by saying that 5.3.3 works great. I haven't updated to Leopard yet so I haven't seen the bugs that this version fixes. Snak is stable and reliable.

After 9 years of Ircle (which is nice but not very pretty) I'm glad I found Snak. No issues with this release for me.

I haven't had any problems except for incorrect settings on my end, so it's my personal choice. URLs in the channel text are clickable and works as you'd expect, but they should be marked in blue underline.
It's just easier to see that way. Since that's the only beef I have, I gotta give Snak 5 stars. As far as I'm concerned the price is on the level.

So customizable, amazing, best client I've used on my mac! I can find 10 bugs in colloquy in as many minutes, but snak is clean, slick and polished.

5.2 was a bit buggy imo, but 5.2.1 is much better. The whois mesages went to the console instead of the active window, and that's now fixed. Option-return to send a message as a /me didn't work in 5.2, and that bothered me, but that's also taken care of.
I've got no other complaints, except that I'd like the channel buttons in the windows to be sorted alphabetically _and_ by network. Now the buttons appear to be in the order the channels were added to the window

mIRC for PCs has voice. I wish someone would add voice to a Mac IRC client.

I have been using Snak for a quite while and in my opinion it's the most easy-to-use, functional, attractive IRC client for OS X. 5.2 has a lot of relatively small improvements that really, really add up to more than the sum of the parts.
It's very stable, everything works. That's a lot more that can be said about some of the other clients like Colloquy.

I've got a strong liking for "plain looking" programs that favor usability over garish eye candy, but that's just me. Snak isn't "sexy" but it _works_ really, really well. It's stable, efficient, well thought out and it's extremely configurable. If you don't care for the way the UI looks, there's bound to be a preference for it.
I've used Snak for _years_ and while I do try out its competitors from time to time I find it unequalled and always return.
