Really good and wide-ranging source for out of copyright material is http://archive.org - search against "Texts". Books are downloadable as original images, FlipBook, PDF, and DjVu, but don't bother with the txt files, as the OCR is often poor.

I don't see the problem with IRC, but that has quite a bit of ebooks. Probably not what you're looking for though

Make that "the OCR is regularly so poor they might as well not have bothered" - I've just seen a couple of examples where the accuracy was probably not much more than 40-50%.

Does anyone know where I can find the Charles Bukowski novels? I've read ham on rye, factotum, and post office and really want to read his latter works.
