I use konqueror for debugging graphing browser.
Konqueror shows an icon when a graph is broken.  So there is always something 
to click on.  Right click on that icon popup a menu where you can 
select 'View image'.  If you have the exact url, you can wget it from the 
command line and download the image.
Most of the time with broken images, some error message is returned and not an 
image.  The problem is that most browsers discard this message and the only 
way to see this is messge is download the url with wget.
