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. Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC

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.

Channel Commands:

!help - for all commands available.

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.

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

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

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sunxdcc.com has been superseded by skullxdcc.com.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

#moviegods - used to required this, but they don't allow any proxy.
scenep2p - you can use #the.source.nospam without registration, and proxy is allowed as long as you behave.
I dont think skullxdcc.com was built by same people, style of coding completely different unless they did ai vibe coding than its possible.

I used #moviegods on and off for years without ever registering without problem (maybe they briefly required it when I wasn't using them?)
You need to register now to actually download even if you use #the.source.nospam. You can interact in the channel without registering, but as soon you try to message a bot to actually download you get the following automated message "You must identify to a registered nick to private message this user"
skullxdcc.com seems to be made by the same person.

#moviegods maybe it changed now, but this was like 2-3 years ago. Before the second they detected you are using proxy/vpn you were auto banned.
#the.source.nospam maybe it changed now, few months ago you were able to use it unregistered. But its alwasy recommended to register your nick and use SASL/SSL to authenticate.
skullxdcc I looked at the style of coding and it seems not, but i dont know.

EDIT: My bad for some reason I confused skullxdcc with xdcc.rocks. You might be right.
