I have no idea how to log (privoxy or tor??) these, maybe you could 
explain how its done, just in case they start happening again..

1. Connection Disconnected:

The browser has a little message "connection closed" on a white 
background (not a privoxy message).

When I watch the exits (using vidalia's "network map" ) that produce 
these messages (which are identical to those produced by chinese exits 
around 2005/6) I see circuit request which then sits there for about a 
minute, until eventually I get the message (above). Rarely the circuit 
itself sometimes dies but more often does not. If I ask for another url 
(e.g. msn.com etc) - this is immediately serviced correctly within a 
second or so.

2."You are using a proxy which is changing your data... refusing 
connection.."

This is a short html document, with a black background, a title in bold 
"WARNING..", and then the rest in standard font size.
