Used to have mIRC downloading music videos on the brand new 56k modem.

Not too loud. Don't want the suits to find out.

Glad to see the old ways still persist

Wait this is still a thing? I remember writing a DCC download bot in arexx on the amiga, back in the mid 90s.

Nice list. Some additional information:

• You don't need to register on abjects to download in ´#moviegods´.
• To download in irc://irc.scenep2p.net/THE.SOURCE you apperently now do need to register to download. This didn't used to be the case.
• sunxdcc.com has been superseded by skullxdcc.com. Made by the same person as sun and on sunxdcc a popup even tells you to switch.
• irc://irc.rizon.net/nibl is a channel for anime downloads; no registration required. Can be searched via nibl.co.uk/search
• irc://irc.xertion.org:6667/MK is another channel for anime; this does now seem to require registration. Can be searched via xdcc.animk.info

Wow. Blast from the past. I see znc is still a thing too

Nice one OP thanks for sharing

IRC, DCC, Rizon, Nickserv, his post makes me feel 20 years younger! Can’t wait to try out IRC again later tonight.

This fails to mention the download queues, and the active and passive bots (btw, fuck the channels that don't follow the expecting naming conventions). If you are behind NAT there are stuff you can't download because it's the wrong type of bot.

Kvirc memories coming back...
