IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a chat protocol, and all IRC servers host chat rooms exclusively.
If you know where to go, you can find bots. You interact with them with private messages, commands like "!download ". Upon which the bot will create a DCC (direct client connection) with you and transfer whatever you requested.
Of course, lots of bots will enforce some sort of requirement on you, membership on some web site or some such.
