Xenu's Link Sleuth checks websites for broken links. Verification is done on "normal" HREF links, as well as images, frames, plug-ins, backgrounds, local image maps, style sheets, scripts, and java applets. It displays a continuously updated list of URLs which you can sort by various criteria. A report can be produced at any time.

1.3.9 beta from August 2017 available
v1.3.8
Comment above is in relation to its portability. The application functions perfect for its purpose...
1.3.7
Doesnt handle proxies well. Only uses default proxy. Should be able to specify proxy in application.
1.3.7
I just downloaded this and have run checks on a couple domains, but as soon as it's done checking, the whole program shuts down, so I can't save, export, etc. Anyone know about this?
1.3.7
Does as advertised. Very happy with the tool.
Nemo, check in the Options --> Preferences menu. Look at your maximum level setting. That indicates how many levels of links it will drill down to and follow (that may be the problem). Also, when you tell Xenu to check a URL you can tell it to skip external links (so you can speed things up checking links within your own site).
can anyone please tell me why xenu shows 1000s of URLs when checking a single page(e.g index page).
really a good tool, am using it since 4 years and the results are amazing.
Seems to work very fast, though I'm not sure it found all the links on my site. The report was nice. Overall a decent program, thanks!
@billon: awesome news, this program only comes up once in a while but it's a huge help. I was wondering if it worked with newer web linking methods.
