Requirements: Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or 7

More information and downloads available here.

It does not seem to be free. At least it says pro version in the about dialog and that it is free for 30 days only.

I tried it when it was at build 104, was rather slow at transfers between Trillian Astra and Windows Live Messenger contacts.

Other then that it was very nice.

well at least you can manage a lot of accounts in one program, instead of running an irc client, live msg, yahoo msg, icq, google and more.

I used to use v3.x and it was awesome!

Oh yes it is quite nice, I just stopped using it mainly because at the time, when I had that 2kbps transfer speed between Trillian Astra Build 103, and Windows Live Messenger, i was trying to transfer a large sum of files to a friend.

I plan to reinstall it shortly and give it another go. =)

Have used it for about 30 seconds, and it is one of the coolest programs I have seen in a long time. Thanks!

Hope it is free, but I may consider buying it......

EDIT: It is $25 for a full license, but I think it lasts forever.

I re-downloaded it about 2 hours ago, I was going to upgrade to Pro, but sadly the option I wanted was no longer there.

Before: Trialpay with Netflix was an option.
Now: Trialpay exists but Netflix option doesn't.

I wouldn't mind so much, but read my signature and you'll understand a bit more.

Also, you mean this?
