I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

There's no uploading involved if that is what you mean.
But you connect to a public server and when issuing a download command there, it will usually be logged in the chat log in some way.

So, the server has your IP address, the XDCC bot which sends you the actual file has your IP address, your IP address usually gets (publicly) logged in the chat when connecting to the server/room and sometimes even the file transfers get logged publicly.
It's not a very private system, but AFAIK nobody has ever gotten in any trouble for downloading from IRC.
