IRC transfer? I hope you are not referring to DCC. :P

IRC transfer being some form of InfraRed Communication.

And DCC being Direct Cable Connection.

File transfers on IRC are via DCC[1] (Direct Client-to-Client Protocol)

S/He did reply "I am" though.

That said, I think torrents are still a great way to share files, perhaps IPFS[2]. I use LocalSend[3], too, at times, although not for large files.
