With recent incarnations of the installer they try to get you to install 'trialware'. Although I concur that they need to make a profit, I would much rather see an alternate 'paid' edition without the spyware. That being said, you can download the installer only direct from their site: <a href="http://update.digsby.com/install/digsby_setup.exe" rel="nofollow">http://update.digsby.com/install/digsby_setup.exe</a> Don’t get me wrong, I love digsby as a client.

I spent a good portion of my time installing Digsby, because they won't distribute a complete install. The installer is filled with so much crapware that if you are not careful, you'll have a badly infected computer. That's why I prefer Pidgin. It supports everything I need, is perfectly decent on resources.

The twitter part itself is very inconvenient und leaves a lot of space for improvement. You have no timeline constantly open, but have to click each time to open your timeline up.
