whois

whois supports all protocol extensions (RIPE, 6bone, CRSNIC) with the familiar RIPE command line interface and IPv6 support. It also automagically queries the right registry for all domains and most netblocks.

    Download/Homepage URL
    The current URL states it's accessible via HTTP however this doesn't seem to be working at the moment. You can access it via FTP though:

    I can only see it being slow if you're trying to do a whois on a domain that has a slow whois server. This whois program queries the proper whois servers (rather than you having to know them yourself) which makes it a bit slower, but it is about a million times better than the whois program you think you want.

    This client takes an insane amount of time to do whois
    queries. I've tried 4.6.2 and 4.6.3. I'm wondering where I
    find the 'normal' whois client that responds almost
    immediately. Any ideas on how to fix this problem or where
    to find the 'normal' whois client?

    Wouldn't be without it...
    This prog is an absolute lifesaver. I attempted to scan *.au host records for ages before I found this in 2000; kudos to the developer.
