Comment(by feynman):

 I can watch about 10 seconds of a youtube video before something gets
 messed up. I want to note that the video does not seem to stop loading due
 to lack of speed. Rather, hexchat bots are sending disconnect requests
 then receiving data. The data is of course dropped since the socket
 already disconnected. I unlike connecting, I cannot wait for a
 confirmation of disconnect because by the time a computer has sent a
 disconnect request through a chat server, the socket it would write to has
 already closed. This is an inherent flaw in trying to forward data from a
 connection oriented socket. The good news is proxies manage to do it all
 the time--so it is possible (perhaps when the connection through the proxy
 --in this case a chat server--is fast enough).

 Anyway, I am not sure how, or even whether it is possible to fix this
 problem with the disconnecting process, but I am doing everything I can to
 get youtube to work here.
