Sorry to hear about the loss of your job. I think the OP has not considered that Webcrawler may be blocking some Tor exits after experiencing abuse - the heaviest used exits would be the ones likely to show up. Privoxy's error messages can't be relied on IMO. It would be useful if tor-resolve had a 'choose exit' option.
