Around about 2013 Utorrent client had a group chat feature, I distinctly remember downloading a film near release and within the client fellow torrenters' where chatting, my then dyslexic ass cant recall the chat but given the date, most likely slurs.

YSK; utorrent is malware now. and it's stupid to run the extremely outdated version that is not.

Yeah that was some unfortunate enshitification. Qbit caught up but it took awhile.

BiglyBT (aka Vuze previously Azureus) has a decentralised chat feature akin to IRC. It's not very active but it's technically very interesting and still working. Rooms can be based on per-torrent, language, region, general purpose and even custom.

I don't think there was. You might be confusing it with eMule, that still has a IRC client built in
