I remember using it a lot a few years ago in the early 2000s and I wonder if that’s still used…?

If it is, which client should one be using?

      Not joking. There are sites like sunxdcc for searching from the web, and otherwise, !s in chats to search. Works great, honestly.

      There are IRC/XDCC search engines. I don’t know their exact method of scraping IRC servers, but they kinda work.

      Also, if you know the right servers and channels, most have some kind of search index or bot.
