IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a text-based chat system for instant messaging. IRC is designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-on-one communication via private messages as well as chat and data transfer, including file sharing.

IRC XDCC servers have similar content to many torrent sites, but unlike torrents you don't seed, you just download. You can also automate downloading, see !help in any channel.

IRC Commands:

/msg NickServ HELP -- Shows a list of NickServ commands and their usage.
/nick YourNickName -- Changes your current nickname to YourNickName.
/msg NickServ REGISTER [password] [email] -- Registers your current nickname with a password and email.
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY [password] -- Logs in to your registered nickname.
/msg NickServ GHOST [nick] [password] -- Disconnects ghost sessions of your nickname left connected from before.
/msg NickServ INFO [nick] -- Displays information about a registered nickname.
/msg NickServ RELEASE [nick] [password] -- Releases your nickname if it’s held by NickServ (after a disconnect).

Account Security: (after you register your nick)

/msg NickServ SET KILL ON -- Turns on auto-disconnect for users impersonating your registered nickname.
/msg NickServ SET SECURE ON -- Enables extra protection requiring you to identify before using your nickname.
/msg NickServ SET PRIVATE ON -- Makes your NickServ info hidden from other users.
/msg NickServ SET HIDE QUIT ON -- Hides your quit messages from others when you disconnect.
/msg NickServ SET HIDE EMAIL ON -- Keeps your registered email address hidden from other users.
/msg NickServ SET HIDE STATUS ON -- Hides your online status from other users.
/msg NickServ SET HIDE USERMASK ON -- Hides your user mask (host/ident) from others for privacy.

Its recommended that you always use vHost masking. This will hide your ip in channels from everyone except irc admins.

Host Masking

/join #vhost
!vhost what.you.want
(wait a bit, useally not long)
/msg HostServ ON

Ok, so from xdcc.rocks, xdcc.eu and skuldxcc.com only xdcc.eu doesn't return its search results as json. For that one I'll have to find a way to parse an html table :D

I highly recommend coding your own api from parsed html data.

Having parsed HTML before (or tried to) I'm not sure if that was sarcasm :D

You asking me? If you are of course I did its very easy.
