I believe that is where the bot would come in handy. The biggest problem
with that, is Efnet doesn't allow bots, unless you ask specific
permission from the server admin. I suppose if the bot has a purpose a
server admin will allow it on the server. irc.gate.net allows our service
to run a bot in #Trivia but the sole purpose of the bot is to ask trivia
questions.
I would be more than happy to have one of my IRC clients sit in a channel
and I could possibly have it serve as a dcc get client, for my computer is
already set up to send files on a whim, and set up to be an FTP site. The
only problem with that is the fact that I am currently using just a 14.4
connection temporarily, instead of a 28.8 and this client is only up and
running when I am home. It is usually up and running all night long in IRC
anyway.
