I had lots of trouble using irc either with mirc of with web interface. That was in Moscow though. And I did not have normal firewall installed. However must admit it is the best chat medium compared to others. I'm still using it almost exclusively at work. Bad thing, it does not support Russian-Cyrillic normally and uses some weird encoding. Regarding logs and especially long one, they were consistently screwed with unregistered version. It was a known bug iirc, may be they fixed it but I cannot update the client at the University without paying for it.
