Abjects: We do not recommend using irc.abjects.net and #moviegods, #mg-chat at all. They only allow users to directly connect and ban anyone who use TOR/VPN/SOCKS proxies.

You can find many more xdcc networks at https://www.xdcc.eu/networks.php

Optional IRC Security:

  • /msg nickserv set kill on - With protection on, if another user tries to take your nick, they will be given one minute to change to another nick, after which NickServ will forcibly change their nick. If you select QUICK, the user will be given only 20 seconds to change nicks instead of the usual 60.
  • /msg nickserv set secure on - With SECURE set, you must enter your password before you will be recognized as the owner of the nick, regardless of whether your address is on the access list. However, if you are on the access list, NickServ will not auto-kill you regardless of the setting of the KILL option.
  • /msg nickserv set private on - With PRIVATE set, your nickname will not appear in nickname lists generated with NickServ's LIST command. (However, anyone who knows your nickname can still get information on it using the INFO command.)
  • /msg nickserv set hide quit on - Hides your quit messages from users.
  • /msg nickserv set hide email on - Hides your email address from users.
  • /msg nickserv set hide status on - Hides your servicess access status.
  • /msg nickserv set hide usermask on - Hides your user@host mask.

I never stopped using irc since before even messengers like icq where a thing. Why change something that just works? A friend of mine that works in IT-sec told me recently it's considered part of the darknet now.

Just want to mention that IRC piracy also works very well for anime. subsplease.org/xdcc and nibl.co.uk for more. It was pretty easy to setup an automated download as well, on android i had Tasker create an automated xdcc request when a new anime aired through termux and xdcc-dl. On PC theres XDCC-AutoDL, much easier lol.

Can IRC be configured to work with things like Prowlarr or Jackett? If searching and downloading could be automated that would be interesting

This looks nice, but seems like a standalone. The GitHub issues pirate linked seem promising though!

[–] Notorious@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s not 1997 anymore. Use torrents with a VPN like everyone else. XDCC in 2023. Lol.

[–] pirate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes it is still widely used and has most of the newest stuff that torrents have. And if you use irc and used to it its very easy to automate your daily downloads.

[–] ISOmorph@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

By automate, do you mean you have scripts to parse for downloads in an xdcc search engine and directly translate that to bot requests?

[–] pirate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, its very easy to script something for automation.

[–] ISOmorph@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you have a repo I could take a look at?

[–] pirate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I do not. What exactly are you trying to automate?

[–] ISOmorph@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@burgersc12@sh.itjust.works already sent an interesting link. Basically I want to see if I can set up a process similar to sonarr. Where I just need to enter what I'm looking for and the rest (looking for new releases, checking where to download them, downloading) is automated indefinitly according to some predefined parameters.

I'll have to check if it runs in wine but thanks, super interesting!

[–] pascal@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hex chat and weechat supports scripts

Man I feel old. I haven't used IRC in like 20 years.

[–] pirate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, you'll be suprised on how many people don't know about this. Let's hope this information gets more attention. And you haven't used irc for 20 years check out some xdcc channels they are very active.

[–] DontNoodles@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

I still love IRC and it is my go to place to look for books. I like to use Pidgin chat client since i got fed up of ever increasing timer on mIRC. https://www.pidgin.im/ is free and allows logging into multiple XMPP and IRC accounts simultaneously.
